What prompted
the JM; Holly star and famous thesp, to risk being lost among rubber-neck camera-clicking tourists? "I've got to shiff a tray of knock-off's and Fringe flyers before some weisel snout gets me lifted," Malkovich declared. Got to reach as many mugs as poss. Princy Street's like a salmon run and I'm Mr Grizzly scopin' them in!" he declared to the jossling throng around; pleased as he slipped effortlessly back into stage speak. A shady man at JM's elbow with a get-the-f- out of my face attitude was not helping the fishing party. "Look. It's street biz an' I'm a shy backstage jonny sort." Mr J Sands, 53 was not quite being over truthful. Some light was escaping from under his bushel, so when pressed against 6 pints of Belhaven's best, he loosened. "We come here to do a play and we needs common folk as well as richies filling the place. I worked with dear deceased Harold. Poems and politics with me mostly writin' the silent bits; and them ignoramuses thinking all the while that the thesp had forgotten their lines. That right JM? Me and the Pinter, scribbling the nights away...happy times..."
