Soho Theatre Stand-Up Run

December 2004 - January 2005
Stew helps with Richard Thomas' new opera Stand-Up, an opera about British stand-up comedians performed, in German, at Hannover Schauspielhaus in Hannover, in Germany. The opening night received a massive prolonged ovation, but our experience was marred by a controversy blowing up about Jerry Springer The Opera at home in January. We were trying to work. At home BBC executives were in hiding because of something we had written.
