Coventry Market - The Musical was and still is my work baby so I had to go along to watch the first day of auditions being held in the market. I had dreamt up this project, planned it, contracted, liaised and been engrossed in every element of it, planning it perfectly with my maternity leave. So it was a weird experience being there, I wasn't working and yet it all felt so personal, so connected and yet unconnected.
Fran carried Tilly around while I chatted to Ben and Lucy. The auditions started and I felt a tinge of jealousy as Lucy sat beside Ben auditioning, I wanted to know what these people were saying, I wanted to know all about them.
As the auditions started, Tilly started playing up, she should have and is usually asleep at 1pm in the afternoon but not today. I had to pace around the market with her, missing the people I wanted to watch, missing all the action. I fed her and changed her and she went to sleep for about 20 minutes. I suppose I was lucky I'd seen any of it. I was glad that David had recognised that I was there and that the project was still mine.
