A project for 2009

November 30, 2008  /  Stewart McCure

I have just committed to devising, directing and producing a theatre show in London next year.  The prospect is more than a little scary because it's years since I've produced anything theatrical and never in London, which is probably the most competitive live entertainment market in the world.


There are no half-measures with producing.  You either commit to it fully, by which I mean emotionally, financially and in every other way, or you don't bother.  I have a theatre booked for three weeks March-April and I also plan to be in Edinburgh for all of August.

One effect of this is that the amount of time that I can devote to consultancy in 2009 is already seven weeks less than my clients might imagine.  But if I don't afford the theatre project equal priority in the diary then I will fail.
