I begin this blog after rehearsal four of my one-woman/one-person/solo show, Three Kinds Of Me. Whichever term is the more de rigueur, it all boils down to the same simple fact: I'm going to be up there ON MY TOD. Just me, my skinny little 5ft4 self and I. And to put it in no uncertain terms, I'm CACKING it. But, hey, this was MY idea - I wrote it, I decided I'd perform it and therefore I deserve zero sympathy. That's why I'm writing this blog - this way I can weep, curse, sweat, howl and hair-pull into the privacy of my laptop keys and nobody has to listen. Do you hear what I'm saying?

SO WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

When people ask me what my show is about, I tend to give them a look which roughly translates into 'Gosh, that's something I really should know, shouldn't I? Especially considering I wrote the damn thing. But, actually, if I have to sum it up to you right now, in a sentence or three, well do you know what, I have absolutely know idea how to do it?!' YOU know that look.

So, to make it easier for everybody, here is a quick brainstorm of what I think my show is about:

LOVE, HATE, LOSS, MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, RELATIONSHIPS, MENTAL HEALTH, SELFHOOD, MADNESS, SANITY, MINDFULNESS, IDENTITY, CAMPING, DATING, SEX, WRITING, THERAPY, DEATH, GRIEF, LIFE, MOTHERHOOD, CACTI, ARTICHOKES, DRUGS (prescription and non prescription), ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, PANIC-ATTACKS, SELF-HARM, DECEPTION, TRUST, FRIENDSHIP, LOYALTY, and of course BANANAS.

I hope that's helped clear things up.
