Hear Hear Mr Chairman!

Well (see I DO start posts with well quite a bit!) that's the first two nights of the Tom Stoppard double bill in so far and its been great fun to do. The first night despite a few fluffed lines and jitters went well, but I felt tonight went very well indeed and we had a really good audience tonight (no offence to the first night's audience!). Albert's Bridge has been a lot of fun to be a part of, and yes fairly hard work too, trying to remember lines for myself isn't that much of a breeze, but one of the scenes in the play (namely the first one going down the ladder addressing the painters which is hard as hell!) has been a nightmare to try and get right. It just shows how difficult the craft of acting actually can be. But so far its been a blast and the cast have all worked really hard, Stephen Redman who plays Albert the main part of our play has had a real tough job as its such a wordy role but he's pulled it off admirably. The rest of the cast have been great too, especially well everyone (and yes Alasdair, you might read this blog, so I will mention you! Yep mate, you did great as Fraser (BANG!), Bob (watch me feet Charlie!) and Dave (Hear hear Mr Chairman!!). Charles Donnelly as the Chairman and Father and Dad has also been hilarious to work with too, he's great (very much an actor that's hard to keep a straight face in front of!).

I felt the other play of the double bill I'll be Glad you'll be Frank has gone very well too, and I enjoyed seeing the final dress rehearsal on Tuesday and the cast all did great there too, especially Natalie Clark who played the main role, it was a superb performance she gave, Peter Lamb also did great too (he looks alot like Iain McAleese in fact, yeah yeah!) not to mention I enjoyed my fellow thesp actor's role Scott who played one of the porters.

So with two nights down and another two to go I've really enjoyed finally getting to act in the main part of the Ramshorn Theatre, so hopefully I will get the chance to do some more at some point this century (if not this year!). So we'll see. That's all for now. Time for bed.
