The leaving of Rio
Now it’s all over, I am strangely loathe to depart, I feel as though I have barely scratched a tiny pimple on this huge and compelling country. Culturally the Brazilians are not proactive, preferring to wait for a problem to arrive and then do a lot of shouting. This of course is directly contradictory to our preferred way of working, add to this their propensity to lie charmingly when they think the truth might upset you, and we had a massive cultural clash. No matter, all is well, they loved the show, and we could have done it for another two nights at least, if we didn’t have a show in Sheffield on Friday, of course.There are bonuses, I get to see the Nottingham correspondent for a couple of nights, conversations via Instant Messenger(tm) are all well and good, but no substitute for the real thing. Ah well, back to blighty, cold wet and miserable, no more foreign jaunts for me until Berlin in December. The good news is that, now they’ve revived one of their most popular shows, the foreign festivals are clamouring for it (especially as the current show has had a muted reception). So next spring; Hungary, Holland and France for starters, and nothing in England.
