Theatrical Wish List

I am sure I am not the only one here that has in their minds or hearts a show or a part that they have always wanted to do or are really keen to do sometime, yet the opportunity never arises or has passed us by.

So here I was, at work, trying to distract myself from ... work, and was thinking about the regular about those shows I have and started categorising them into groups - done to death, done a lot but still good, and not done much.

I've have never really sat down and compiled a wish list like this before. It has always been idle thoughts.

Parts I would LOVE to play;

• Hamlet, from Hamlet but I am rapidly running out of time for that part
• Crichton, from the Admirable Crichton - which I'll be directing instead...
• Algernon, The Importance of being Earnest
• Marius, Les Miserable
• Fagin, Oliver! and I'll have to wait a bit longer...

Plays I would like to direct;

• 16 Words for Water, by Billy Marshall Stoneking
• The Hotel in Amsterdam, by John Osborne
• Woman in Mind, Alan Ayckborne
• Bedroom Farce, Alan Aybourne
• The Comedians, Trevor Griffiths
• Something Shakespeare

If you are reading this, let me ask you a question. What is your wish list(s)?
