And how is Rome? How is La Dolce Vita? (look it up). I imagine you right now at a café table,
drinking one of those ‘cappuccinos’ we hear so much about, and wolf-whistling at everything. You’re
probably wearing sunglasses to read this. Well take them off, you look ridiculous. Did you get the
books I sent you? Primo Levi is a fine Italian writer. It’s to remind you that life isn’t all gelati and
espadrilles. Life can’t always be like the opening of Betty Blue. And how is teaching? Please promise
me you’re not sleeping with your students. That would just be so . . . disappointing.
Must go now. Bottom of page
looms1, and in the other room I can hear the thrilling
murmur2 of our
audience as they throw chairs at each other. I finish this job in two weeks THANK GOD, then Gary
Nutkin, our director, wants me to devise a show for infantschools about Apartheid. With PUPPETS
for fuck’s sake. Six months in a
Transit3 on the M6 with a Desmond Tutu
marionette4 on my lap. I might
give that one a miss. Besides, I’ve written this two-woman play about Virginia Woolf and Emily
Dickinson called ‘Two Lives’ (either that or ‘Two
Depressed5 Lesbians’). Maybe I’ll put that on in a
pub-theatre somewhere. Once I’d explained to Candy who Virginia Woolf was, she said that she
really, really wanted to play her, but only if she can take her top off, so that’s the casting sorted. I’ll
be Emily Dickinson, and keep my top on. I’ll reserve you tickets.
