Dear Stefan,

It's not a definitive version. I'll send you other more complete versions, from time to time.

"A humble admirer of Diana Rigg"

Diana Rigg (recalls) : "I can still remember the first time I met an audience ... .  I was an understudy at Stratford-on-Avon, when I was called on to replace the principal in 'Alls Well That Ends Well'.  Her name was Priscilla Morgan. They gave me maybe an hour's rehearsal.   By a coincidence my parents were out front that night.  I didn't tell them that I was going on, so that when I came out and started shaking, they thought I was just walking on.  Then they realised, and sort of clutched each other in absolute fear. My fear was of a different kind.  I was simply not sufficiently prepared and so I was annoyed with myself.  Still, the audience was very kind as it always is when an understudy takes over and doesn't want to make a complete mess of the play, and I was led forward and allowed to take a solo bow. I played it for about a week, I guess.   And it was about the end of the week only that I began to enjoy it."
