DIRECTING IS AWESOME- JEN PRODUCING IS FUN- CHLOEAssassins, the first (and hopefully not the last) of my producing experiences, can only be described as overwhelming. From my first meeting with Chris Nobbs (executive producer extraordinaire), a bewildering blur of smiling, nodding and blind terror; to the prospect of sourcing a props list which frankly should have had me reported to police, including among other things a noose, a joint, a dead dog, an electric chair and nine handguns. But more than anything I was overwhelmed by the people I had the pleasure and privilege to work with on this show. Jen and Matt have done marvellous things in a very short period, finding time in between being amazing directors to help me out whenever I needed it. The cast have continued to leave me in awe of their talent with each new rehearsal; watching the show come together really has been a joy. And in a group of MUSE veterans where I felt more like a puppy than a producer, Nobbsy and Teams Patience and Little Shop were always there for a push (or sometimes a shove) in the right direction. I honestly cant think of a more lovely or brilliant group of people to work with and Im so thankful that Ive been allowed this experience, despite the sacrifice of sleep, uni work and a couple of fingers.
