Sorry for the super crappy quality but hereâs Tom with his fans after the matinee performance on the closing day for Betrayal. I went to see the evening show and to be honest, it kind of went by in a blur. I still canât quite believe itâs all over! Itâs been an amazing run and now it just feels weird not having another performance to look forward to. Itâs been my once a month treat to myself since March, and although I shudder to think how much money Iâve spent on this play, itâs been worth every single penny. It still sucks that they couldnât film or record it what with copyright issues and all, but that just means I had to work really hard to burn it into my memory. What I wonât be forgetting anytime soon is this:
I met Tom again after the evening show and was actually able to talk to him this time instead of just babbling thank you at him like an idiot. I mentioned that I was super nervous about starting grad school at Cambridge later this year and asked if he, as an alumnus, would write me something motivating. He ummed and ahhed for a bit and I was like, itâs fine, I donât want to put you on the spot, you can just write whatever, but then he said âno, I want it to mean somethingâ and I was pretty much ready to faint at his feet. Then he gave me this and I honestly could have cried. Needless to say, Iâll be reading it every day for the rest of my life, and Iâm sure itâll help me through the inevitable impostor syndrome and the times when I just feel like giving up.Â
All in all, itâs been an incredible experience. Thanks for the memories, Betrayal, and for making my life that little bit brighter!
