Killing Me Softly with Jelly Babies

Miss Pross is bad. She brought Jelly Babies to rehearsal and I cannot resist their sweet jelly bodies.... mmmm jelly babies...... Oops, sparks flying as I was drooling on my 'puter thinking about the babies - must have more self control. Note to self - Resist! RESIST!!!

Thursday was a run through of Act 2. With music, as my ipod is now working again (hazah!) and with the Soldier a.k.a. Barsad. We played out a scene from The Life of Brian with more than one of us saying "stwike him vewy wuffly centurwian", although I do think there are a couple of people who haven't seen the film (where have you been?). We had a small issue with the crowd not cheering like a crowd and I'm sure that Seamstress pronounced the verdict Not Guilty when he was in fact guilty, guilty, GUILTY! Although she can be forgiven as she does know all her words (well done you!)!

Evremonde continues to say imigrant instead of emigrant (or perhaps that's just the way he talks) and now I know the difference I shall have a word later on tonight and I will also make sure he's taken his Joe Longthorne DVD home with him (that's a little bit scary isn't it?). Talking of scary, I frightened Lucie (which is good, trust me) although not like Noddy, who, let me tell you is pretty terrifying! Likewise, I was little disturbed by Carton who sat in the corner muttering to himself, either he was learning his lines or casting a spell, I couldn't say for definite which it was.
There seemed to be some general craziness in the air as several of the cast had a little boogie (yes boogie, not bogie, two very different things) despite having been told on numerous occasions, this show does not have dancing in it!. Mr Lorry denounced Kate Bush, which I thought was a little unfair and Evremonde decided that Darnay should be killed and so decided to draw different ways in which to despatch him. I have attached them to the bottom of this blog (if I can work out how to do it), I think I need to give him other things to do to keep him occupied...

Another good solid rehearsal, Director Guillotine was very pleased with us all and I really felt the love in the hall (especially as it was Valentines Day!) for all of us....
