A tear, a wave of a white handkerchief – The Faction’s train pulls out of the station. We stand and salute their magnificent achievement.

Gareth finally spills the beans on the place to go after the show, and shares a bit of gossip about the cast.

Up and running, there’s time for Gareth to find amusement in the smallest details.

All three Faction shows are now up and running and Gareth has a second to take a moment’s pause to contemplate this achievement and to ruminate on Miss Julie.

Gareth wonders whether Miss Julie, the third show in The Faction’s rep season, might be suffering from ‘third-child’ syndrome.

The reviews are in, Twelfth Night and Mary Stuart are up and running, Miss Julie is about to go into rehearsal, and all is well in Gareth’s world.

With just days to go until opening night, Gareth chucks everything out with the old year, and reaches for the whisky to see him through.

On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…lines to learn! Gareth looks forward to conning his part between the turkey and the mince pies.

As The Faction begin putting the work on its feet, Gareth has to deliver the goods – or not.

The Faction Theatre Company embark on table work. Gareth embarks on Bikram Yoga and Hummus.
