All of life is contained in our tour as we get out of a theatre. Joy, sadness, rage, elation, community, graft, conflict, love and a big red van. Not the 'get ins' because us actors get away with not having to help with that. But the 'get OUTs' have got it all.  As we get to our assigned duties we deconstruct the last show, the mistakes, triumphs and new unusual audience reactions. Here in Newcastle at Northern stage it's been a great run of 4 shows. A gorgeous mix of audience; mothers & fathers, tiny babies, theatre bar staff (thanks Bruno!) and Newcastle Uni student theatre society (@nutsncl) made each show so different.  And the last show before packing up launched us happily into the back of the van with our messy set.
