BUT.. its just taking some time... or actually im taking some time deliberately, to get over my dads death, which comes up and surprises me at the most unpredicatable times.  of course. BUT .. I m feeling back on track and most exciting of all... im taking la cage to broadway.not sure yet exactly which theatre... its a bit like landing planes at heathrow. i'll fly over march 1st - 4 weeks rehearsin with a new cast. open april... play for 6 months. so.. MAJOR UPHEAVAL. hope to see u there! someone was saying that the last la cage in new york just didnt work and that theyre wary of the show... im hoping we can show them that fabulous beating heart. not sure yet who will be my new 'lover'... there is even a small hope that i may come back in london and close the show here for xmas.. but that is all still up in the air and prob wont be decided for a month or so. BUT...  may be shaving again, o mi gawd, before xmas. meantime.. ive written a musical ... called for the moment.. 'meantime'. aschlin ditta is writing the book - he of catherine tate and scenes of a sexual nature fame. its a completely new story, from scratch, set today based on nothing except our take on love and life. it follows a love affair across fifty years. ive written the music and lyrics. we had a recording session two weeks ago - matt rawle, krysten cummings. josephina gabrielle, denys lawson, shaun esscoffrey and my daughter mol. we had a reading of the book two days later - people like rory kinnear and indira varma harish patel  and cillian murphy helping us out. we're now writing the next draft. my plan is to put up some music either here - if i can ever work out how to sort it all out - or on myspace. meanwhile ive had a few rehearsals and want to set up a gig or two in late august. phew. this time i will try to keep this page updated. but.... all exciting stuff. xx doug ]]></content>

		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://www.rightbackrecords.com/weblogs/pivot/entry.php?id=125"><![CDATA[ well here i am back in the masculine- so many comments re la cage.. thanku. theres nothing odder than moving on and knowing the rest of the cast are still there doing the show. With a play this never really happens - you all finish together - if you know what i mean - its odd to think of my cagelles  still doing their stuff with someone else... and even odder at home at half past seven when you still get that surge of adrenalin with nowhere to put it. so ive grown a beard ( and all that other chest hair armpit hair leg hair) which has been like some jacobean torture - god what u girls go through - and im utterly entranced by dimetos. a play ive wanted to direct for many years and which is heartbreaking and poetic and mystical in equal measure - and i sit with my feet up marvellin at the actors in front of me and the play - which i personally think is one of the great undiscovered masterpieces of the last fifty years. weve got a couple more weeks before first preview. and then im off to do the robin hood movie with russell crowe for three weeks - to try to get out of debt and hence the beard and meanwhile sunday night im singin i am what i am in a tux at the oliviers. today i had a reheasal with the orchestra and it all came floodin back. the nerves! i  had the worst news of my life this week  at home  so whatever bloody happens at these particular awards im going to have a raise a few glasses. thanks again for the kind words   and see you when this site finally gets a face lift. x douglas ]]></content>

i wanted to say to all those people who have written to me.... i will write back -soon as im home and the jobs done i just havent been able to get time while the shows been on, but believe me quite often the comments in these letters and also below make all the difference and do keep you going on a cold matinee when youre losing confidence fast. thanks too, to all the people who have apparently voted for me on the  whatsonstage.com awards for best actor..... god knows where u have all come from - i hear i'm in a creditable second place to the jersey boys which is good enough for me. if youve still to see the show i hope you like it.... all best dhx ]]></content>

from the first kiss<br />
the heart still seeks to fly<br />
from even this<br />
<br />
he said never give your whole heart<br />
always keep a small part ,<br />
turn tight and twist<br />
the world can fade and change<br />
from kiss to kiss<br />
<br />
some people are the picture<br />
some people are the frame<br />
cant have one without the other <br />
some never hear their names called<br />
some will stay, foever in vain<br />
and jesus had a brother called james<br />
<br />
he said would u mind if i went now<br />
this isnt really me somehow<br />
i dont do this<br />
the snow fell soft and cold<br />
silence its gift<br />
<br />
some people run away<br />
some people play the game<br />
some people seem blessed, some always get the blame<br />
some will stay forever the same<br />
they say jesus had a brother called james<br />
<br />
let me in now please my mama<br />
i can sense u there behind the door<br />
i just need a place to rest this winter evening<br />
in the morning i wont trouble u anymore<br />
<br />
and you can throw stones and you can know better<br />
sometimes a man doesnt come up to the letter<br />
if ive let u down, iv let u down a thousand times<br />
dont think that i havent felt ashamed<br />
dont u know jesus had a brother called james<br />
<br />
she said the hearts just a muscle<br />
the harder the struggle the stronger u will be<br />
is there a way home now still for me?<br />
<br />
some things they are too much<br />
sometimes we fail<br />
some people can standby<br />
some people are too frail to stand  all alone<br />
and alone remain<br />
jesus had a brother called james<br />
and this will go onward the same<br />
as the snow disappears in the falling rain ]]></content>
