Waiting for the train that never comes....

Hi there readers, just wanted to give you a quick update on Monday's blocking and to let you know that there will be no blog after Thursday as I have a work event to attend, unless one of the other cast fancies writing something for me to post??? Evremonde? Miss Pross perhaps? Maybe Lucie would like to try her hand at it? Darnay? You're always moaning that my grammar is wrong, fancy a go yourself?

Let's see shall we?

So, anyhoo - Monday ah yes - Tardy notices given to a few of the cast, Director Guillotine and myself included (those wonderful people at South West Trains making an hours journey 2 and a half hours and then leaving me stranded 2 stops from my car)!!! So we started a little late in Room 1 (as Sound man is putting the kids through their paces for their show, he has the hall until 9 for a couple of weeks) with the runaway carriage scene. Director Guillotine has choreographed a piece to music (no it's not becoming a musical) for the beginning of the scene that I think is excellent! In fact I think that his vision for the show is quite inspirational - okay I am a little biased, but this show will be fantastic and I've already sold three tickets!!!

We have also located a guillotine for a bargain price (one which as Producer I am happy to sign off on), Wardrobe Mistress has yet more fantastic costume bargains and has started to match cast members with costumes(wonderful work WM, we are utterly delighted), Barsad will also be Soldier in scene 2 (thanks so much), Defarge will also be a Judge and Miss Pross has got some fabulous fabric for her costume!

Blocking is going very well, Director Guillotine is delighted with everyone especially as lots of people already have good characterisations going on and we're not even working on that yet!

We could still do with some more men, so if anyone knows anyone who has some free time....
