I got through the thing without straying too far from the script, there was lots of positive feedback, and all the constructive feedback was suggestions that put the play right on track with what I was aiming for: They got it!
"They" were such an awesome mix of all my favourite people... it really was like "this is your life," actually... Me talking about my life to those who were present at different stages. Apart from the parts of the story where I was alone... in that case, it was new to all of them.
People keep talking about my "bravery" and it's one of those things where a kid falls down but doesn't start crying until the adults react. It's starting to make me self conscious, but ALSO, I am VERY tired right now and I at least have presence of mind to realize that I need to recover here and then reflect :) I've been on an adrenaline high for 3 weeks now and today was definitely withdrawl. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep- my body was aching. At least it all came AFTER the fact.
More later... The consensus I took was that this is a "thing", that it's entertaining, that it touches people, and it does have a future. So... a break... then the next steps :)
