Reading with Subtitles and Heavy Metal

Oh my, where does the time go? Is it Friday already?

My apologies readers, for not having blogged sooner, but this week has been rather busy, I can tell you - and I still haven't made the flags (but more of that later).

Last week when I wrote, I seethed at having to stand most of the way to work on the train so I couldn't sit and write some fantastic prose for you all. However, on Tuesday morning I took a slightly later train that was much less busy and had time to sit and write to my hearts content. That should have formed the basis of my blog. I could have just typed up what I had written straight into here and it would have been witty and insighful and informative. Except it wasn't, it was drivel. Looks like you had a lucky escape last week!!!

So let's start with Monday Monday (laa laa la la la la). The first read through with the cast in their roles. Carton and Darnay provided subtitles for Evremonde which I thought was a little mean (stop teasing him or you won't be allowed to sit together any more), I'd never tease Evremonde in such a way - would I? (Do you have your pencil case with you today?)

We had yet another newbie to add to our brood, a friend of the Revolutionary who said she didn't mind what she helped out with, so she'll be on stage as well!!! As well as that we had one of the not so newbies return to the fold and will now take the part of Peasant woman having been very poorly sick, (glad you're feeling better again).

Some of the music was also showcased by Director Guillotine although my ipod player was on batteries and kept stopping - not very helpful when you're trying to create atmosphere... Barsad was delighted with our choice of end song - we're pleased you're pleased!

Overall Director Guillotine was delighted with the read through, asked some of us to be less girly (the boys) and some of us to be less posh (the peasants) and all of us to come back next week!! Hoorah!!!!
