Today we bury this wonderful young man: my very dear friend theatre director Martin Tulinius has lost his short, intense battle with cancer, and I am devastated. This photo is taken in Guanajuato, Mexico, where we began our world tour of "The Tiger Lillies Perform Hamlet", which he directed. Martin was a shining light of Danish theatre - as well as a wonderful friend and dedicated father to his son. A visionary set designer and a blessed and fearless director of the most subtle character work, and literally bursting with enthusiasm and his huge appetite for life and theatre.
I am just sat here, miserable, missing my great friend and collaborator. I cannot accept that he had to go. While it is in fact unbearable to think of the many beautiful, up-lifting shows of the future, that he will now never develop, my love and support goes to his bereaved, who have lost a father, a partner, a brother and a son. What a terrible loss it is.
We were fortunate to have a fabulous opening of Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth - and I was given the best gift ever: Sander, who is eight and plays young Jonathan, has custom-made this Lego Prior Philip, complete with chasuble and all. Thanks, Sander, you have no idea how happy you made me!
So, tonight is opening night of Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" - blessed to be in the company of this wildly talented and dedicated cast and crew.
Rehearsals moving forward, first previews in two weeks' time. Pillars of the Earth.
New Musical, new bicycle! Rehearsals have started at this beautiful round theatre, Østre Gasværk Theatre, and I am the happy owner of these new wheels for the daily commute through Copenhagen. Merrily I roll to work, as the cathedral-building takes shape..

It has been a great pleasure reading Thomas Mann's "The Holy Sinner" (Der Erwählte) in preparation for our soon-to-be musical production of Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth". The way it touches on themes of sin and forgiveness in a modern/medieval prism is deeply fascinating.
Thoroughly enjoying Mark White's book "Kennedy - a cultural history of an American icon". Very enlightening on how the public perception, the "image", of JFK was built, maintained and enhanced over the years. In short, from the war-hero candidate, to the mythological figure of today. Learning more every day.
