character you're going to be.

4:03

Wow. Okay. And uh going back to last

4:07

play reading, what was what was

4:09

happening in that play reading? That was

4:11

an Alan Abborn comedy. So it was uh a

4:15

social comedy. It was good. But that we

4:17

have a huge variety. There'll be

4:18

tragedies and dramas and who done it and

4:22

comedies. It's a mix. Occasionally even

4:25

Shakespeare.

4:26

Not too often though.

4:48

4:50

Um, Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.

you know I don't. I was just thinking

5:05

the other day that this is really remiss

5:07

of me not having anything planned for

5:08

the autumn. I would very much like to go

5:10

to Japan. Have you ever been to Japan,

5:12

Harry?

5:12

I've never been to Japan. I went to uh

5:15

Asia. I've been to Cambodia and

5:17

Thailand, but never Japan. What
