The beginning of August is sweaty and steamy and overcast, aircon weather, jittery flying ant days. I’m taking the Overgroud, over the river and way out west, for a rehearsal for Mavis in East Acton. The show is next Sunday and I am as nervous as those ants, suddenly sprouting wings and learning to fly.

A little lost in the trading estate I am looking for signs to get me there.

Do I take the stairs and go through door 10D for Pleasure?

Or stay outside with the angels?
