The Good News:
I have been offered a part in a new musical "Friends of Dorothy", playing througout August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Yes, it's a gay reworking of Wizard of Oz: the clue is in the title. How can I not do it?
The Bad News:
If I want to go to Edin for the whole of August it will cost me £400 for the cast flat, travel etc., and it will also cost me £380 in rent for my empty room in London. Thus I will be £780 out of pocket and I don't have that much pocket to be out of.
The Solution:
Barbelith of course! I need to hear from
a) peeps who'd let me stay chez theirs in Edinburgh, either for the whole Festival or as long as they can manage at a reasonable or free rent, and/or
b) people who fancy a month's jaunt to London and a stay in a friendly Barbe-household in London's rapidly-getting-nicer, well-connected, very central, half-an-hour to Soho and Covent Garden, near the Almeida theatre and Sainsbury's, Bloomsbury, British Library and Museum and Islington - King's Cross. Or anyone who lives in Edinburgh and fancies a straight swap for August.
For b) people's info., my room is a reasonable size with a double bed, TV & video, phone, high class art on the walls and ensuite toilet/shower. The house itself is a two floor maisonette with a big ol kitchen, friendly housemates (including another Barbeloid) and another bathroom. It costs me £380 pcm but I'm willing to negotiate and indeed rent it out by the week if people want to stay. I wish I could offer it free but money is, after all, the issue, so any rent from a lodger would be better than nowt. I will pay all utility bills except phone for the month.
Dear kind people, please help. Remember, it's for the sake of Art. And music(als). Anyone who can get me a job in Edinburgh (pub/office/anything) for the month will also be showered with kisses. |
