Prop tastic

Why is it when you introduce props and a proper set everything else goes out the window? Last night we had our set for the first time, which was nice - and bigger than expected (which is always a pleasant surprise). We only have two doors instead of three which again caused some confusion when people are supposed to be off and then come on through a different door but there isn't a door er.. Anyway, Guy was hitting the drugs big time (prescription ones only of course) as he has to have root canal work and a wisdom tooth out - ouch!!!! But once they'd kicked in got down to it and mastered the two pages that were giving him the most grief!

Dave was late to rehearsal last night and so I read in for him, but I kept getting caught up in the action and forgetting that I was supposed to be reading his lines - until someone shouted "Dave!" at me. It's great as the show is really engrossing and I know what's happening!

Director Demon has asked for us to prepare costumes for Thursday's rehearsal and to have words pretty much there as we might not have a prompt as both Producer Him and Producer Her are flat out now er, producing stuff. But whatever you do DO NOT upset Producer Him - as I said before, he's given up smoking and is a little tetchy... Have I told you lately how much I love your pencil case? And you really are terrific you know...

Things I learnt last night:
1. Director Demon is starting a murder exchange programme for serial killers
2. Water is very wet
3. Dave likes larger measures
4. Doors can be confusing
5. The Madman and the Nun is a real book
6. Guy doesn't like dentists
