Forgive me readers, for I have been remiss, it's been four weeks since my last blog... And - quite a lot has happened since then so there is no excuse (well apart from, my dog ate it, I left it on the bus and actually I have been particularly busy at work).
So, where to start?
Well, as there hasn't been a blog from The Demon side of things since May, I should catch up from there... Oh, I am struggling to remember what's been happening so I'll just bring you bang up to date!
We've had four Monday night rehearsals and and extra read though, line learning one, at Vicky's house where we all met Boomer for the first time, man, that's one cute puppy. Matt became Boomers best friend that night although Boomer was interested in a little more than Matt wanted to give... Chairman read in for a couple of people who couldn't make it including Corinne and was quite good at being a girl - do we have a future Dame in the making here?
Two weeks ago yesterday Lucia had to withdraw from the show, which I know she was very disappointed about and Director Demon asked me to step in as I had auditioned for the part anyway and knew the show. So now I am back in the show as Lucia and luckily I have been able to get the lines pretty much down, much listening on the ipod and Director Demon has been going through the lines with me (one of the benefits of living with the Director), which is good.
Last night, the cast (well, Matt, Emma, Corrinne, Guy, Director Demon and Lucia) gathered at Director Demon's house to run through lines. Emma made a quiche using corned beef instead of pastry and some lovely pesto pasta, Director Demon made a salad (which Emma couldn't eat as there was mushroom in it, although she doesn't like tomato or cucumber (which was also in it) so missed out on lettuce and spring onion!), we know for next time and Matt brought ice cream - good call Matt!
The lines read through was good, no-one had scripts at all and a couple of us have come away with some homework (that's what you get when Director Demon is also in attendance) and we also got the feedback from Monday's rehearsal which was good and very constructive.
What I have learned from the last four weeks:
1. It's weird when one of the cast calls you on the phone and you are listening to them in the other ear on your ipod.
2. Elemental is NOT just an album by Tears For Fears
3. Emma is very fussy about what she can or can't eat (although she did nearly choke me with chilli's at the last read through and I did pick the peppers out of both her lasagne and the quiche).
4. Guy is Switzerland.
5. Moo Moo's are very funny.
6. Emma spends her day off cooking.
7. You can't rely on Producer Him to post a blog when you don't get to
I hereby promise to keep you all up to date with what's going on with rehearsals. No, really I will
