Reviving 'An Hour with you'

Its been a year and a month since I performed my first solo show 'An Hour with you' and wow its a shock to think I made and performed this show a year ago. My solo since its initial performance has had another outing I was proud to perform the piece at the opening of 'The Words at Play Festival' in october last year. It was wonderful to revive the piece which received a lot of positive interest from audience members and the creative writing department in particular. These positive comments and being able to revive the piece briefly for this creative writing festival has encouraged me to extend and develop my solo further about me trying to build a relationship with my grandmother who died before I was born. I feel like I at the beginning of my journey again revisiting my piece because I am revisiting my relationship to my grandmother, but also looking closely at the elements running through the piece reworking some, loosing some elements.
