Free Condoms

This morning I got up at 5:30 am to distribute free condoms at a tube station. It was fun and we finished early. Then I went back to bed for another hour's kip before my audition at 11am.
They liked me and have asked me back for a re-call tomorrow. The play sounds like fun, it's Shakespeare and the pay is decent. 325 a week plus touring allowance of 12 a day.
Well, noone does this job for the money but it is a fairer representation of today's financial requirements of living in a big city, than some of the dosh usually offered by small theatre companies.
A dilemma is raising its scary head already though- I received an email from a director regarding a play on the fringe, which would be unpaid but more prestigous than touring round secondary schools (again). An interesting part, too in an acclaimed modern classic drama. He asks if I can rehearse from the 19th of December and what my take on the role would be. She is the illegitimate daughter of her "boss", and in love with her brother who has syphilis, so an interesting part, for sure!
