Rocket to the Moon: Q & A and last performance tonight

I went to the Q&A this afternoon and loved it. Both Joseph and Keeley Hawes were a joy to listen to and it was lovely to hear them both talk about there careers.

After the Q & A I went to the box office to see if I could get on to a backstage tour, (as I had three hours to wait until the last performance of Rocket To The Moon started). I was standing there mulling over what had just been said at the Q & A when I realised the person standing in front of me was actually Joseph. I wondered for about a second if I should speak to him or not, but then realised that I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by, so I took a deep breath and asked if I could have his autograph. He was so lovely and quite happily signed my Rocket To The Moon programme - twice! My pen failed half way through his signature the first time, so he signed it again once we'd managed to sort the pen out. He then made my day even more by agreeing to have a photo taken with me.

I also saw Keeley Hawes shortly after and she signed my programme too.

I did manage to get on a backstage tour which was very interesting, especially as we got to stand on the stage of the Lyttelton, where Rocket To The Moon has been playing, and then this evening I went to see the play itself for the second time. It's a wonderful play and Joseph was amazingly good as Ben Stark.
