rosiedoesYeah, alright, I'm spamming tonight.
So - I said I'd update on the play... It's all over, now, but I created an online messageboard so people could stay in touch and it's taking off. I've been asked to join the Publicity Committee.
I was also doing the men's make-up during the show, so they bought me a box of chocolates to say thank you, which was a complete surprise at the last night party... Everyone on that play was lovely. Except Debbie The Evil Programme Bitch.
We're talking about getting everyone out to a play or to Chessington World of Adventures (non-Brits: major theme park) to make sure we stay in touch. There was a big group of younger people - me, JJ, Imogen, Christian, Calvin - who are all 30 or under (mostly early 20s), and then people in their forties and fifties who were pretty cool. There's also Marilyn, who is mid-thirties, and really was one of the younger ones, although I'm not sure how keen she'd be on a theme park.
It was sort of different to any other play I've done, because the dynamic between the cast off-stage was so good. There were lots and lots of in-jokes, "BERNARD! You're on!" (he usually wasn't; even when he was meant to be), calling 13-year-old Aubrey 'StrAubrey' and teasing him about his harem of 13-year-old girlfriends, Mike's Lady Friends and songs for every occasion, ninja fans, "HE'S COMING INTO YOU THE BACK WAY!", "Porn Brokers" and "- it makes her but[t] willing -"
Sheer filth, really.
As much as I hated the play, it was a lot of fun - and would have been more so if we'd had more time off around it.
Pictures from the back-stage area can be found here
We are a bunch of dorks. For reference:
Me: multi-coloured stripes and black fan.
Imogen: green dress, light red hair.
Ruth: purple and cream.
Marilyn: green and cream, dark hair.
Natalie: white night gown or blue and yellow.
Jason: dark blue and orange; chestnut wig.
Calvin: Little Richard.
Mike: white shirt, scruffy green robe.
Bernard: clothes hanging on door, typically.
Colin: red hat.
Ken: Santa
Pam: red dress, black lace
Christian: baby face.
John the Director: Non-plussed.
