It must've been a while since I've had a month as busy as this June, especially the latter half. Still, for better or for worse, I manage to add 10 shows to my total, counted as 8 full shows and 4 'half shows'.
Hard to define what a half-show is, but the London Pub Theatre Gala on 1 June is a good example: something happened and someone watched it, hence theatre, right? Well, there were bits of theatre for sure, extracts of previously successful plays, but I'd struggle to classify the event as a 'show'.
I did do the subtitles for Liana's Queen Mary show on 4 June, saw Street on 5 June and half of the Lexicon Lounge at The Water Rats on 8 June. I felt really sorry leaving at the interval of the Lexicon Lounge, but I was really tired and could not for the life of me get on board with a long evening of spoken word.
The rest is mostly stuff we hosted: Peter Pan on 10 June, Ruthless on the 11th, and the London Cabaret Club stopped me from seeing much more for the rest of the week.
I saw Precarious Theatre's 100 Percent with only one option of the cast, the a kids show by Stagecoach at Arches Lane on 22 June, and the latest iteration of The Room of Piss at Hen & Chickens in the evening of 22.
I saw Sharon's Provenance on the opening night, then nothing until Sunday, when we hosted two developing pieces: Bois at Arches Lane and Limerence at Barons Court.
Then a massive week spent in LCC without seeing too much else apart from Copacabana.
Still, add 10 shows for a 59 total by the end of June. Though I'm beginning to think that producing more than you can see is a weird thing.
