(in person)

Went to see Cate in the play "Gross und Klein" by German author Botho Strauß yesterday, a co-production with a German theatre festival, premiered in Sydney last year and now toured London, Vienna, Paris and finally came  to Germany. Very 70s West-German piece, in English with German subtitles. As she said on TV: no need to make too much sense of it, it was much more interesting than expected though.  Her character originates from a city not 5 kilometers from where I live so that gave it an additional funny touch.

We try to go once every year to the festival and after the performance we traditionally go to the stage door to meet whoever stars in that play that year. There were quite a lot of people there this year and for the first time quite a few who obviously didn't attend the performance but just came to get their LOTR-pictures signed. She on the other hand went along the line and only signed programmes from the show which we found massively amusing and so we got our autographs very easily. Lucky us :)
