My God we've had a productive week of Socks stuff this week. That is to say I've been in the studio for three days, and I actually managed to follow up Derby's Preview show on Sunday by doing some writing that builds on what we've learned (as well as recording 4 videos for local TV, don't ask why). I have also managed to record a number of Socks videos, with new songs all of which will be going into the audience-intro music and not into the show itself. Here's the latest, Love's Labours Lost. I know, very silly and quite short, but there you are. It's done, and I hope you enjoy it. Click to play.
Also written in the last three days are the "That One About" poem, which I rather like; the Free Association short routine; The Insults short routine; and the Hey Nonny Nonny routine. I've also gone through the whole show, removing Forbidden Planet, inserting An Actor Prepares, shortening the Girls & Boys song (by 30 seconds), speeding up Iago's Song (now also 30 seconds shorter) and, significantly, writing in big bold letters the bits where something funny is needed. It's shaping up nicely.
