Big thanks to everyone involved in I Want to Be in a Jane Austen Novel. We finished on Saturday 4th to a packed house, and it was our finest show. Keep an eye out for future plays from Jo Butler - her talent is huge.
Moving to Sydney in a week or so to try my luck in the big time. This will be a move in slow-motion, however - I'm planning to take a few days cruising the coast and hanging out. Until then I'm just wrapping up the leftovers and fitting my life into boxes.... Anybody out there need to buy a secondhand fridge?
