First dress rehearsal last night for #SweeneyTodd. I haven’t been on stage for 25 years, so returning was intimidating enough, let alone as the Demon Barber. But that feeling… the audience, the music… it never gets old!

Yes, playing Sweeney in our local production of Sweeney Todd, which opens in ten days. Writing novels now, got an agent and a publishing deal, and then the publisher got sold so all in a bit of limbo, but c'est la vie. Bought a house in a lovely small town, and got this big lad (Zeus). (Not my kid!)

Audition for Sweeney Todd, they said. It'll be fun, they said... after a 25 year break from the stage.

Now 2 weeks until opening night and it is very clear just how much of a genius this man was and how challenging his music is.

Ah well. I'll try to be a memorable Demon Barber of Fleet Street!

Greetings to my new followers! Going to try to post more here. So for a start, how about some pics of the recent Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet?

Stunning night of #aurora in the Cariboo last night.
