Sorry about the delay in blogging. It's been a crazy few days, winning a best Director award for my adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream at one Drama Festival and then winning a Best Actor award at another Festival for my performance in my own play "Fairy Gifts Fading Away". (God, I'm great..... he says with just a hint of irony!)
So Trixie needs artificial stimulants to get through the day, (Red Bull).... If you were anymore hyper darling, you would be airborne!! She's getting to be quite the demanding little drama queen now! Wanting holes in her doughnuts for pete's sake! Holes!! We'll do our best to get you your hole, Diane, but we can't promise anything!
Well tonight is our last rehearsal in Room 6...... it's been our home for 12 weeks, we'll miss it, but I'm sure you're all dying to get up on that stage. Apart from a few little bits here and there it's all looking really good. I am sure that everyone will be word perfect tonight. God help you if you're not. I am easy going and like to run a relaxed rehearsal room.... but God help you, if you try to take advantage of that and not put the work in that you should!!!! It's not just me that you're letting down, but the rest of the cast and crew and also all those actor's who turned up at the audition and didn't get parts. They would love to be in your uniform now! So tonight... full concentration..... and hard work!!!! 7.30 start; the play, the whole play and nothing but the play!!
Once we're up on stage, the set pieces will take a better shape, the dancing, the choir, the cliff top rescue, the schoolroom scenes, the train, the hockey match etc.
We'll hopefully run some lines over the weekend when we're putting the set together. Charles will remind you tonight of the times for building, painting etc.
Tonight, ladies and Gentlemen....tonight!!
