    Congrats on a wonderful interview. I had the good fortune to perform alongside Nick in wogs (touring show-second season)and in my humble his writings in wogs and subsequent shows are nothing short of brilliant, but “Gordon”the opening monologue in wogs is , for me, par excellence and it was both an honour and privilege to experience it as an a spectator and perform it as an actor

    Well done, nick. Simply: thankyou.
