All Hail The Penguin Queen!!!

.... it is now.

Last night was the final performance of Wyrd Sisters, and despite making one mistake I think it was my best night, and the best of the three performances. People still sucked - but on the whole it was better.

The lighting only screwed up once as far as I am aware, I know because it was in one of my scenes. The Duchess and the Fool were still painful, but I've already beaten that one to death with a stick so am not going to say it all again.

I was more nervous last night probably due to knowing more people in the audience, but we got through it.

Although I will miss bits of it, I am very glad it's over.

Those of you who came to see it, hope you all enjoyed watching it. Am really sorry to those I did not speak to last night, I was in a bit of a daze.

.... well tonight is the first performance of Wyrd Sisters.

I'm not going to talk about the weekend, nor last night now until after it's all done. I am in a positive frame of mind as I know we can (well most of us) pull this off as we're very good.

For those wanting to come along, as I said it's on Tonight, Tomorrow and Thursday, at Prince Edward Hall, Hatfield Campus, University of Hertfordshire.

Prince Edwards Hall is next to main reception. The doors open at 7.30pm and the play starts at 8.00pm. Tickets are available on the door and cost £3 to NUS card holders and concessions, and £4 to everyone else.

If you are planning on coming along, don't tell me when. I'll just worry. ;-)

Was pretty good last night, my panic is gone replaced with a worry that we might not get the rights back in time.

If we do, then the play is on 2/3/4 December, tickets will be £3 to NUS card holders and £4 to everyone else. It's in the Prince Edward Hall, Hatfield Campus, Uni of Herts.
Doors open at 7.30 and play starts at 8. You can buy tickets on the door.

If we don't get the rights there will be a stressed filled post on here and the play won't be on.

*watch this space*

Wow, this working on a Saturday lark sucks. Haven't done this since I worked at the library back when I was at Uni... so we're talking 4 years ago now.

Sucks even more than I thought it would because it's just me and the nob MD Simon.

Got up before 8, unheard of for me on Saturday, and had to be at the station for 9, and finally got into St Albans for about 9.35am.

Still, after today only two more working days left here, then 3 days of freedom, the weekend and then the IEE!!

I popped into Hammicks... no wait Ottakar's, and picked up a shiny new copy of Wyrd Sisters - The Play that I had on order. I also got The Book of Exhalted Deeds for D&D.

Thought Exhalted Deeds might be handy for next weekend, as am running the second part of my Norse campaign. I've more or less worked out the entire plot for it, and am now just turning it into encounters etc. It should be a giggle nonetheless.

woodbrook, no you can't wear the winged helmet when you play.

... first rehearsal went very well. The cast (all that were there) did a straight read through and nearly everyone was very cool. Am especially impressed with my two fello witches.

woodbrook's interpretation of Magrat I thought was spot on, but I think the directors would like her to be more of an airhead.

Am hoping that reindeerflotila gets bumped up to the role he wanted or atleast given more to do. The current Fool was just awful.

I looked at the rehearsal schedule last night, funnily enough I have to go to all of them. Christ I hope I learn the lines quickly.

For those who wanted to know, the performance dates are:
2/3/4th of December.

Rest of my week has been interesting.

I went for an interview at the IEE (again) on Wednesday - haven't heard back from them yet.

My job is still sucky! Have found out I get no holiday entitlement until I have been there for 6 months. So am still actively looking for something else.

Wyrd Sisters audition was interesting. Don't know how confident I am about getting a part, but it was fun nonetheless. Apparently the Director is putting up the cast list on the Uni web page at some point this weekend. I can't access the page, so am waiting on woodbrook to deliver the good/bad news.

Weekend has been good. Did a lot of tidying up in Dan and mine's room yesterday. Intended to do more today, but have been waylaid by planning the next session of my Norse D&D campaign.

Oh, and am having to go into London tomorrow with other new person and the MD to visit the hotels that we are part of. Joy.

Not much else to say... so until next time. :-)
