We sell out again and jam all the people in somehow. The folk from Melbourne Arts Centre programming are there and Devika is set up in a corner filming. Just as the last punters are leaving, something in the hills hoist snaps and Luke spends half an hour with some gaff fixing it in his super-Terry costume.

Show two has a wild audience of children full of comments and suggestions. “Just get a chainsaw and tear down the fence!” “What if the bad guys have 10 heads, 20 heads, 80 heads, 100 heads.” “You have to stop fighting and work together like a team.” “No way!” as we go up into the two and a half high.
We play with them and then talk over them to keep the show moving. It's kind of brilliant and hilarious and a little exhausting and in our moment offstage before the bow we look at each other with big amused faces before running back on.
Bump out neatly into the trailer. Deflate all the balls. We won’t do this again for several months now. All our handwashing in separate buckets in the laundry sink and Christy and I both don frocks in celebration of the end of lycra.
