And here we are blog, over half-way through the run with only two weeks to go. It has been marvellous so far and the audience on the whole have been supportive and laughed along…eventually. It usually takes the first few scenes for them to get warmed up and in on the swing of things. With Egeon’s tragic speech opening the play, we’ve found the first-time Shakespeare go-ers thinking ‘I thought

Here I am, two hours before press night and yes, I’m nervous. My nerves manifests itself in the form of extra, unnecessary energy which is probably annoying for the rest of the cast so I decided to use up some of that energy writing you, blog.We have had a long week. Opening night of previews was fab and the audiences throughout preview week have been consistently good. They get it! This is the

I am so sorry I haven’t been with you, blog, for such a long time. I have been very busy and by the time I finish rehearsals every day the office is shut where I write you! (Oy - don't blame us! Marketing Dept) The past two weeks, surprisingly, have just been runs, runs and more runs. I say surprisingly as I don’t think anyone envisioned us doing runs in the fourth week with two more weeks of

This week has been a goodie in terms of rehearsal and general fun. Mr. Ridgeway never fails to keep me entertained what with his stories from the business and his general life which usually have me in stitches in rehearsal and at the pub. He is famous amongst the cast for his Ridgeway tear which he is able to produce at any given moment any time of day, ‘It’s a gift’ he says. I have been trying

And here we are in week two, and here is where the work kicks in. We have actually just got through the basic blocking of the whole play now and today has been the first day where we are back at the beginning doing the whole detail part. I do still love Shakespeare although he has got my brain a bit boggled this week. I am playing Luce now as well as the Courtesan and Luce is responsible for my

Wow, what a week it's been already. I keep having to remind myself that I'm actually getting paid for having this much fun which in my books is just weird! This fun could just be a by-product of the play tiself. THE COMEDY OF ERRORS is, in my opinion, one of Shakespeare's funniest plays what with the confusion and general raucndhiness in int. All of the double entendres if takein in the
