well, the two week run of alphabetical order is at an end.
it was the last night, last night ...
apparently, the theatre has been an average of 80 per cent full, which is very good.
we've certainly all enjoyed it - just about every audience has laughed, though never in the same places.
it's been interesting for me, because it's the first time i've appeared in an out and out comedy.
i found it tough at times, delivering lines that got laughs last night, but none this time. you start to wonder,
what am i doing wrong? but it was good experience, learning that people really do laugh at different things.
anyway, i'm looking forward to have a night in tonight.
i'll probably crash at about nine o'clock!
but i can't sit back for too long, because i've still got essays to right for a course i'm studying.
and, of course, it's work tomorrow!
i was well pleased to hear that the royal shakespeare company are doing a special tv performance of 'hamlet', to be shown on BBC2 soon. this is the version starring david tennant as hamlet. i'll be looking out for that.
though i've got a matinee ticket to see jude law play hamlet in london in august.
i suppose celebrities fill seats, but it would be nice to think that lesser known performers could get a chance, too!
i watched twelfth night on stage not too long ago. david jacobi played malvolio, and of course he did it brilliantly. but you
find yourself almost skipping over the rest of it because a FAMOUS PERSON is there. in a way, i do wonder if it diminishes
the value of the play...
let us know what you're up to, won't you - whether it's appearing in something, or tipping us off about something you have enjoyed.

Glad it has gone well hun. We are off to Cheltenham to see a Midsummer Nights Dream on Wednesday - it will be the blondes' first shakespeare, but she already knows the basic story and is really excited. the best version i have seen was in Exeter by the northcott players outside in the park, the setting was amazing and the players fantastic - will let you know how it was when i am back from the week away x
