Well the show is finaly upon us and all that hard work and sweat and blood and guts and toil is finally paying off. So far this week we have been rehearsing every single night at the guild hall under the beady eye of george, our own mr jobsworthy who i get the feeling from doesnt much like this bunch of actors desicrating the historical guildhall! We are not allowed any power for the lights until 530 when the council workers have gone home otherwise we will blow the fuses! this means that mark and the other techies have about 1 1/2 hours to make sure every thing is set and programmed and thats being generous. The first half dress reahearsal finished at about 1020pm so not that bad really, jobsworthy wants us out by 1030 each evening so not impossible. Then came lastnights 2nd half dress rehearsal.......um yeah we finished at about 1055pm! Jobsworthy was looking mighty scary by the curtain call. And as with al the greatest productions we high tail it to the local watering hole, the judges lodgings. All i can say is thnk heavens for late licencing. The people of york dont know whats hit them when we all sit outside (thats about 20-30 of us!) and laugh about the lastest mishaps on stage. A few points of interest are Robin as clifford during the jack cade riot scenes looking like a cross between Blade and a reject from the blue oyster bar. You try to keep a straight face when he come on but it gets increasingly difficult when you can hear mark the director laughing hysterically and i look to sally and andy and can hear them both clearly wispering 'must not laugh, must not laugh'. You can see why young clifford turns in to the child killer he is later in the play when you have a dad like that! A few other things happened such as missed entrances and even no show soldiers to cart off the captured henry leaving bill to improvise as edward and through poor jonathon off stage! Lets see what delights tonights actually performance brings or if indeed we will have an audience to play to???
