He thinks that I pick on him and don't say wonderful things about him in this here blog. This is a lie. I am always saying how great he is.
He thinks that I laugh at his pencil case. This is also a lie. I covet it and just might steal it when he's not looking (just don't tell him, right?)
When I joined the group, Evremonde was the first person I spoke to (and I still came back) so he holds a very special place in my heart. Add to this that he is not only a very talented actor but an amazing artist as well and what's not to like? He is also funny and smart and dresses well with nice cardians, but I don't want his head to get too big....
The other thing is about me. I am tired. I have a busy job. My whole life outside work revolves around this show.
Box Office came to my house the other day to collect the tickets and I (very kindly) made her a cup of tea. Director Guillotine arrived home and said hello and started talking to me about the show. Box Office jokingly asked us if we ever talked about anything else, well, the truth of it is we don't at the moment, not really. Director Guillotine remarked to me last night actually how much easier it was to Direct when the Producer lives with you. Perhaps this should be a pre-requisite in the future - if you want to Produce a show for someone, you have to move in with them for a few months.
We have just 3 more rehearsals until the tech. Nervy. We are clearly far ahead of the game with the show, but Director Guillotine now wants us to "get serious". This means, no smacking people in the head as you walk off stage, no silly dances, no taking off and buckling down on lines. The cast need to relax into their roles and the words will come. You all know you know them. We now have a prompt - I shall call her Prompt (original huh?) who is learning the show and fell apart completely at the end of Act 2 Scene 9, like we all do. Well done Lucie.
I have also given everyone in the cast a target number of tickets to sell. If everybody sells 10 tickets we will have a superb audience, plus the fact that there is always a prize for the person who sells the most tickets and at the moment I will be giving that to Director Guillotine and that really can't happen now guys can it? We have an amazing show, full of drama, emotion and some damn fine acting. Be proud and get people to come see it, it will be worth every penny.
Darnay also sent me the other "Death of Darnay the Minkey" pictures which I will attach to the bottom here and will see you after another lovely set build on Sunday. Let's hope it doesn't rain....
