As everyone knows by now, forumers Laura and Jen (Brookesey), saw Damien's new play 'If You Don't Let Us Dream, We Won't Let You Sleep' on opening night, last night at the Royal Court Theatre in London.
The lucky ducks only met Damien at the stage door and Jen's hubby Trevor, who is a photographer took some absolutely beautiful photos, which he has given us kind permission to share.
please note: ALL of these pics belong to Trevor Blackman. Please do not share these photos anywhere else wthout Trevor's permission, please respect his copyright and that these pics belong to him and Jen. I know it is exciting to see new photos of Damien but it would be upsetting to me if someone saw them here and just shared them all over the net, without going about it the right way and doing the right thing by Trevor. ok, rant over, thankyou.
This is just a seletion, as they are personal to Laura and Jen I did not want to share too many of them, but I am sure they will post more - the ones with them together are gorgeous!

Sorry to say some of Trevors pics' have ended up on Tumblr already. People I repeat - these pictures are exclusive to Trevor, they cannot be shared without HIS permission! it devalues his work and is a huge disrespect to him, it should be up to him where his own private photos appear online. thanks!
Hehehehehehe - it is I, Brookesey, still grinning after meeting Mr Molony for the third time at yet another stage door last night! He was his usual lovely, friendly, kind self - he remembered all three of us (*coughs* I'm sure all those tweets I send him on a regular basis had nothing to do with it) - and put up with us taking yet more photos of him and blithering on about Being Human, all things Hal and in my case reminding him that Skyfall is out on DVD on Monday! I really don't know where that came from - Totally Random Moment - I could hear my brain saying "Stop talking Brookesey" but my mouth was too quick for it! Damien wrote "To the one and only Brookesey" in my programme - *massive thud*, I was really chuffed with that. 2 For those of you interested, the programme for "If you don't let us dream..." is also a copy of the entire script! A novel idea and a bargain at only £3. Damien said I should check it when I got home to see if he'd messed up his lines ;) we chatted for quite a long time - it was a proper 4 way convo between us, and we were joined by a lovely BH fan from Northern Ireland called Lisa - Damien is just so calm and kind and genuine. He told us to come again to see the show if we had time! Talked about costumes, props, the play, Being Human, coffee - I bought him some - and then..... ......... wait for it...... .......... we went our seperate ways.......BUT...... .... we decided as it was only 9.30pm to go for a drink, we went down into the Royal Court Cafe/Bar and who should be there with the rest of the cast but Mr Molony! We didn't hassle him - we sat across the bar from them although could see them all quite easily. I went outside to use my phone at one point and walked right past him and he said "Hey Brookesey!" I was a little bit flustered and just said "Oh hello!" We didn't want to hassle him now he was 'off duty' so I just smiled, made my phone call then went back to Trev and Laura. When we left he was still there so we just said goodbye to each other as we passed him and he said " see you soon."
Thank you Damien for still being the lovely man that we met at Travelling Light last year, and for always being kind and friendly and considerate to hapless blogger/forummers like me.
I have some photos to put up - fingers crossed I can do it!
Yay!! hello! you did it Jen! *claps and dances* that is not too big at all, just perfect
AW! I love these photos so much Jen, you all look so gorgeous and happy and the whole thing is just ...very special.
Thank you to you and Laura for delivering our things, i know you had some from the bloggers too. For me i felt like Laura was going on my behalf, tough job but i guess someone ha to do it
Please please thank Trev for doing them and for allowing us share (am writing a feature for the fansite showcasing his talents as we speak, to publish tomorrow i am a bit to bleary eyed and tired now to not make mistakes!)
Damien is looking fantastic with his new look! however did either of you remain in the upright position?!
Hey Domino. Feel free to put as many photos as you like of me & Damien. I'm sure Brookesey won't mind you putting the photos of our "threesome" up together either. My computer doesn't seem to like Photobucket at the moment, it's frozen 3 times already so can you do the honours?

Amazing pictures, the black and white ones are brilliant, he's so ridiculously photogenic!
I do liked that slicked back look, it suits him and it brings that mad hair of his under control ;)
And once more, thank you Jenny for your kindness in what you did for me. I'd had a pretty rubbish week and it helped cheer me up no end, i owe you one for that :)

He appears to be even more gorgeous in real life than on screen.That smile & his eyes...he's so good looking it hurts!.How do these lucky fans manage to stand up straight while so close to him? i wouldn't be able to stop staring at him! (It's the gay guy thing,or maybe just me!).Anyways lucky i wasn't there as i'm sure he'd think i was a nut!.& yes they are very nice pics.
Lol! J-B, 'gay guy thing' does not hold the exclusive rights to staring at Damien or thudding! it is a universal law, whatever one's orientation, known as 'The Molony Effect'! I can also vouch for the fact that it even works over the telephone, renders one speechless and stupid! haha!
