Hi Folks,
Back again to give you the inside scoop on the life of thesps.
Things are accelerating rather swiftly, we’ve broken the back of most of the big numbers in My Fair Lady, the moves in Trelawney have all been blocked and the casts of Henceforward and See How They Run tell me they are going well too! I’m currently blogging to you from behind a barricade of percussion, I am playing the drums in My Fair Lady and we are in the middle of “Get Me To The Church On Time”. This requires all sorts of entertaining noises, hence the great wall of wood blocks, cow bells, ratchets, triangles, mark trees, glockenspiels, bell horns and kazoos dividing me and the rest of the room. One of the most challenging aspects of rehearsing an actor/musician show is...well…just rehearsing. That may sound a little ridiculous and exactly why we’re here-so-stop-complaining-and-get-on-with-it, but at one end of the room I am doing my best ‘Animal’ from The Muppets impression and Chris Stuart-Wilson, our esteemed choreographer, is trying to put together a complicated routine. I’m sure you can imagine how amusing everyone finds this after an eleven hour day. I’ll report back soon, unless I am found lying in the Tummel with a tambourine rammed down my throat.
S.B x
