Tim on going back to the Roundhouse and looking out for the newcomers

Looking forward to the next DP at the Roundhouse, we've got four fantastic writers.
And Joel unearthed a couple of newbie crackers for our last show.
It's strange going to the Roundhouse because almost it's like the most pure distillation of DP, usually when we find a cherrypopper, I might help them with some notes on their play and pass a draft back and forth, but it's quite ad hoc.
As is our nature.
But with the Roundhouse new writing course the first time writers are really well supported, by weekly tuition from Joel and support from each other in the class.
It means that the cherry poppers are really really geared up for the experience rather than being slightly overwhelmed which can happen when we take control of it.
One of our last cherry poppers Melissa Manteghni looks like she might get representation from Cassorotto Ramsay, which is a bit like playing your first game of football and Real Madrid coming along and saying 'fancy a meeting?'.
Roll on Saturday...Dirty Tim
