Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford at #Gally1
Bonnie shares an adorable story about a kid so scared by Colin's villain in their first panto performance together that they called the theater and Colin tried to talk the kid down.

"But apparently he was still scared." Bonnie.

"I think he's still in Arkham even now." Colin.
"I think it's the height of rudeness" to phone in performances in theaters, says Bonnie. If they've paid to see you, "you give them everything." #gally1
Colin talks of "the potential damage" for child stars. "The gutters are littered with the ones who had that brief moment and couldn't hack it." He praises Bonnie for enduring. #gally1
"You have to be able to show your vulnerability, and then protect it in armor." Bonnie on the struggles of being an actor and capturing emotional truth without being hurt. #gally1
"I had to waltz with him and he nearly broke my feet every night." Bonnie on Pirates of Penzance with Sylvester McCoy #gally1
"Colin threw himself into the part...rarely strayed more than an octave from the note" said a review of Colin Baker's childhood musical theater work. He didn't know what an octave was and was quite pleased. #gally1

New year. New fears. New book to drown myself in.

Drama around the Target Storybook's production made for one of the most encouraging moments of the year for me in 2019. Let's see if the book itself can be a bright way into 2020.
So Gatecrashers is already extremely charming. I love mundane concepts and stakes like space pizza delivery, and I love characters like Yaz seeing through it to the real human stakes. Hooked.
Ryan knows spray cheese is shit.

Ryan is wise.

Ooh! A #DoctorWho book about privilege dynamics, refugees, and police brutality, and it's by...

Oh.
It's time to read Tragedy Day, the 24th Virgin New Adventure, by a certain G Roberts.
Without whom I'd not have had a career? Without whom I'd not have bridges to burn? Without whom there'd be nobody to vague about my 90s drug habits in vengeance for my bigotry? Inquiring minds want to know.
