Pinter at the Pinter - My night meeting Tom!
Ok so I think I’ve recovered just about enough to try and go back over last night! The show was brilliant, Tom wasn’t on until just before the end but the piece he read was so good and he made everyone laugh. I managed to sneak a couple of photos before I got told off -
Ok so the performance finished and they said some actors would be in the foyer with charity buckets……..so I thought that Tom won’t do that, it’ll cause absolute chaos. I go down the stairs and just to make sure, I poke my head around the door and spot those ridiculous curls right over the other side of this packed foyer. As I go to walk in this woman says, ‘you need to go to the exit now, we’re shutting these doors’. Honestly I flung myself forwards about a metre and they literally shut the door behind me.
Then I had to elbow my way across this room, everyone was either going for Tom or trying to leave. I just kept winding in between people until I was at Tom. There were a few people in front of me and then I was at the front. I waited semi patiently and took a few pics and then his security looks at me and I say ‘am I next?’ and he nods.
Next thing I know he’s shoving me into Tom who holds out his little yellow bucket and I can’t even put the money in the slit because my hands are shaking so much. So he takes it from me and puts it in and says to me, ‘do you need someone else to take the picture?’
I just nodded and went, ‘I can’t do it I’m shaking too much’……so he takes my phone out my hand and says to someone, ‘excuse me, would you mind taking the picture for us?’
So then I put my arm round his waist and he leans in and OH MY FUCK IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER 💕
I look absolutely terrible in my pic as I had honestly forgotten how to function so I’ve put a filter on it to make it look slightly more acceptable!
I also need to say a massive thanks to my girls @fandom-and-feminism @fadingcoast @nikkalia @mischievousbellerina and @igotloki for listening to me freak the fuck out on our group chat afterwards! Love you hens! 😘
