Greenwich and beyond..

What a brilliant couple of nights at Greenwich. We had some great audiences in, and some lovely feedback. If you came to see it, would be fab to hear what you thought of it.

Until next time...

Greenwich baby!

First show tonight! cannot wait!

Nancy treads the boards...

We had a rehearsal on the stage at the New Theatre Royal, Brighton. Which was fab. And Nancy had her first blast on stage.

Without being a pushy mum, I'm hoping that it is the first of many performances.

Next play featuring an 8 month old?

Now where's that number for the baby modeling agency...

It's next week...

It's less than a week to go until My Second Life is on in Greenwich and tickets are selling well. Which is a bit of a double edged sword.

On one hand it's like, 'thank God, we're not going to be performing to an empty theatre.'

But at the same time, it's a bit, 'Oh shit. Please let people like it.'

Well too late now to start panicking!

Deep breaths...

Nervous!

We are performing in Greenwich next week and the nerves are beginning to show. It is at this stage when my mind starts making me doubt everything and paranoia starts growing like mould on bathroom tiles. Firstly, I convince myself that I don't know any of my lines, not one, especially not the first one. Secondly, as I play two characters, I become certain that at some point I will come on to the stage wearing the wrong clothes, speaking in the wrong accent and talking to the wrong person. Thirdly and finally, I become like a nervous traveller who has to check their passport every two seconds, except with my costume. I have to go back to my bag of clothes regularly and check that nothing has suddenly dissappeared. Where I think a large pink satin skirt is going to run off too in the dark of the night, I don't know, but I check all the same.
I know it will be, as they say, alright on the night, but nerves are not rational. They sneak up on you in your dreams and create the biggest nightmare scenarios. I was once dreamed, before an exam, that when I got there I had to answer about a hundred pages on Thomas the Tank Engine. I hadn't revised that!
Right, I'm off to read my script and check that my shoes haven't run off for a new life in the sun.

Wet and windy Bognor

We went to Bognor Regis yesterday to persuade (ok, force) people to come and see our show on Wednesday. My word, it was windy and rainy. We went to the seafront to give flyers to hotels and we were violently battered by the wind. We walked along, our heads bowed, as rain whipped our faces.
Nothing would stop us in our pursuit to tell the people of Bognor about our play; we climbed through hedges, we...we...well we got wet, that's dedication enough isn't it? I bet Laurence Olivier never had to do that. I mean, we didn't even stop for a coffee!
Before we went on our road trip, we had a rehearsal and it looks as though everything is shaping up nicely. We are having our dress rehearsal on Saturday. Oh I just can't wait to put my fuchsia pink hat on again. I bet the others can't either as they usually can't stop laughing when I put it on. Meanies!

It's nearly upon us!!

Well, it's time to dust off the old costumes and give it to 'em!!

I personally cannot wait to don my 'Clive jeans'!! I have never before witnessed quite such a long zip in my life! I get knackered every time I go to the toilet!! Much excitement also about the bright white and blue trainers.

Clive Senior has got serious style! And don't you forget it!
