All things on earth point home in old October sailors to sea travellers to walls and fences hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds the lover to the love he has forsaken.

It is not only my laboratory and my place of work but also my home so that on the 30th October I was able to share my happiness immediately with my students and collaborators and at the same time with my wife and family.

I'm doing a new musical on Broadway which opens in October called 'The Boy from Oz ' where I play Peter Allen. For those of you who don't know he became first famous in America for marrying Liza Minelli.

I don't count on the boy who waits till October when it's cool and fun then decides he wants to play.
