"Back on stage again tomorrow..."

... in a 1 act play we're putting on at a festival / competition. It's called Aftermath and it's set in the aftermath of a nuclear war. It's deadly serious but very, very good. 2 Months of work, for one performance of about 30 minutes.

Hopefully it'll all go well. It's strange not doing a run of shows as usually we do three nights, but it just means everyone only has to get it right once....

You do plays? I thought it was just Hibey. Anyway, good luck, though it does seem a bit of a waste only doing one performance. I was in a small production a while back, we did two showings and that didn't feel enough.

I, too, am a thespian. Did it when I was younger, then gave it a miss for a bit while at uni etc. Started last year and have done two shows so far, Bouncers which was really good fun to do, and Table Manners and Ayckbourne (sp?) thing which was quite good too....

I did Treasure Island. I got to be the drunk guy at the beginning, Captain William Bones. Good times. Oh, and I don't care if it's a kids' book, at least people have heard of it.

Sounds cool, Your Honour.

My college rendition of Jim cartwright's "Road" finished a week ago tonight. The one inwhich I played a misguided seventeen-year-old who starved himself to death. It went really well. The final night was fantastic. I got some great audience feedback, aswell. Apparently I do a great blood-curdling scream.

I was Simeon in Joseph at Primary School.

LIAR!

- What time is it?
- Jesus christ
- 10 to 7!
- Gonna be late
- Time for one last check...
- Hair?
- Check!
- Tie?
- Check!
...

Etc. I could do the whole scene :-)
We did a 20 min extract of Bouncers for our GCSE coursework, most fun I've ever had in my 3 years of doing GCSE's. We had 12 weeks to learn and choregraph a 20 minute section. So much fun. Who did you play?

I played Les.

- Aftershave? Jason Donovan uses this
- Check
- Money?
- Double Check.
- Condoms?
- Checkaroonie!

"And with a gasp of an orgasm and the burp of bad ale smelling breath, he'll stand there, legs shaking like a sh*tting dog. And he'll say..[/I"]

"[I]That was f##king brilliant"

So many great lines in that show. Makes me want to do it again :-)

- Right, that's it then. We catch the bus at the end of the street.
- Ding ding!
- Fares please...
- Oh bollards

- When we get down there the pubs packed already. I see my mates Baz, Jerry, Kev and me into The Taverner's.
- Four pints pal!
- ONE

etc etc. Loved it. Although playing the women was really quite embarassing. Stroking male audience members faces and such... I was Ralph.

Heheh. Not as strange as having a beard up your a###.
- The City At Night by Lucky Eric, an artist's impression
- P•ss artist...

Does indeed have many fantastic lines.
