Funlavin

Things are moving ahead. Rehearsals in small groups are taking place this week in John McCarthy's offices in Rathgar. Paul drove back from Galway specially. This week end will be a busy time in the hall, with rehearsals, set painting ( one colour black ) and assembling the costume.

Jean and Jackie are working on props and Sinead on the catering and front of house. The lighting is ordered, Barry Deering has welded in a lighting bar for us.
I hope Andrew and Avril are recovered from swine flu - they are badly needed.

It is lovely to hear some of the phrases from the show again - a young dissipated owl - like Leander, barring the wetting - your beauty has left a lining in it that has kept me warm ever since -. I liked Mrs Cregan talking about their estates being - heavily involved - a lovely euphemism.
