Please, allow me one moment of total self-indulgence...As is always the way, especially in times of high emotion, when you get theopportunity to thank people, you inevitably forget to thank some importantpeople. To that end let me include the list of people who I should havethanked on Monday, but didn't, just so I can say that they have beenthanked somewhere and I didn't forget about them totally.In no particular order...Michael McAllen, (The God of Small Things That No-one Else Wants To Do),for stepping in at the last moment when one of my actors 'neglected' toturn up at the performance.Eliot McCann, for giving us the very shirt off his back, so that Michaelwould have something to wear.Kimberley Shaw, for her fantastic acting job ;) , and for the very, veryhelpful observations after she first saw the play.Flo Paynter, Les & Gwynne Marshall, John & Carol Hall and everyone up atMarloo.David Burton, for fixing our stretcher (which broke during our final dressrehearsal).Shannon Ring and her cast, for sharing.Brenda Stanley and Terry Hackett, for their absolutely wonderful comments.Alison Farmer and Grant Malcolm for all their hard work.And especially the ITA...Umm, I think that's about all...Thank You for letting me share.My sincerest congratulations to all the other winners (especially Johanna,Tim, Joy, Shannon. Katy, Luke, Ben, Jarrad and Carmen)Paul "Gwyneth Paltrow" Treasure

> Please, allow me one moment of total self-indulgence...Oh, this ought to be good... :p> Eliot McCann, for giving us the very shirt off his back, so that Michael> would have something to wear.No sweat, guys... geddit?? "No Sweat"?!? Ah-Hahahahahahaaaaaarrrgh!At least I hope there was no sweat!Thanks to the ITA. I had a blast doing my patented Mark Knopfler impersonation in public, and was quite relieved to see how people were entering the sprit of the festival and not the spirit of contest.Better go, the blokes in white coats are back with my restraining garments.El
