A Tomb With A View

Right, so I promised to mention the show in my next post... Here you go!

For the last 5 months or so, I've been undertaking a big new project in my life - acting in a fantastic amateur production of "A Tomb With A View" by Norman Robbins. We always describe it as a mix of the Addams Family and Agatha Christie - a comedy thriller that will have you thinking you know the answer one moment, and then leave you baffled the next.

It's such a thrill to be involved in theatre again, acting in particular - there are few things that give me such a rush. More so in this show, as the cast and crew from the Magdalene Players are a great bunch of guys n' gals - I'm sure we'll stay in touch once the show is done. Our ever-patient Director, Chris, is doing a fantastic job of discovering new ways of doing things which we - as actors - perhaps wouldn't think of, as we're maybe too close to the characters.

With less than 4 weeks to go until opening night, it's all starting to feel very real and close! But I'm incredibly excited about it - on the one hand, the usual nerves are creeping through about will I f**k it up somehow, but on the other hand I know we're well-prepared, and I can't wait to get up on the stage and just do it! We've been working hard for so long; I want to show everyone what I've been doing (and neglecting them for - sorry folks!)
