At last!!! I finally meet course leader Vernon Jones!!! And I was right!!! He really is very enigmatic!! Which I love!!! He pretends to be quite annoyed if you correct him (I confess, I did this several times when he got his facts wrong!!!) but then he lets you know that, all being well, we're all going to become Fantastically Important, which is exactly what I knew anyway!!! He asked me how my attachment to T.A.A.D. is going, and I said "all right, I suppose", and he seemed really pleased!!! He stressed it's hugely important not to annoy or upset anyone, and I completely agreed with him, which he liked... He asked me what my first essay is going to be about and I said "weetabix", and he looked a bit perplexed. But when I let him know I was joking, he seemed relieved and laughed for a long time!!! Anyway, the important thing is, I'm very happy with him, and I'm sure we'll get on just fine...
Back to T.A.A.D. in the afternoon and I tried to put Vernon's advice into practice by not insulting Prat. His class this afternoon was all about what he calls 'The Defecation of Responsibility', a slightly alarming but (I'm discovering!!) very typical process of linking dramatic text with bodily functions... I had no idea there was so much toilet humour in Goethe!!! Or Prat, for that matter!!!
Read in The Stage that Nicol Williamson has decapitated Lionel Blair... surely this is a step too far, even for an actor of Mr Williamson's violent talent...
