It was great seeing everyone a few weeks ago and getting a chance to see Gaslight on the big screen! When discussing the PPP Christmas meet-up the idea of perhaps showing a documentary was suggested by Dolly.
What does everyone think?

I’ve been having a look around for some interesting documentary films and here’s a few trailers I found:

Man on Wire (2008)
Man on Wire chronicles Philippe Petit’s 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Centre.

Ping Pong (2012)
8 players with 703 years between them compete in the World over 80s Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia.

Playing the Moldovans at Tennis (2012)
Comedian Tony Hawks is set the challenge of beating at tennis all 11 of the Moldovan international footballers who lost 4-0 to England at Wembley.

fantastic premiere night

The day finally arrived. after ironing out some of the last minute technical issues – thanks Davey and Tom for sterling work at the desks – we were ready to go. We hadn’t had time to check costumes, but I was very pleased that everyone looked great on the night! In fact, I have to say that all the cast looked immaculate not only on the performance night, but at every rehearsal too! This generation know how to look dapper at early morning rehearsals, which is why I knew I could trust their choice of outfits!
We shared a lunch at The Brink, and everyone seemed very cool; if there were nerves they weren’t on display – apart from me who couldnt eat!.
After a last minute sound check and warm up, it was up to the greenroom and then down to take palces on stage and watch as the cinema gradually filled up with faces familiar and faces new.
Excitement mounted and we were off – everything went perfectly! The audience laughed, the audience clapped every song and every story – no one forgot their lines and the effect with lights, sound and the visuals on screen was stunning!
I wouldnt like to single out anyone’s performance – they were all marvellous. I had a big lump in my throat at the final moments.
It was over so fast – and then we were all delighted about the response and positive comments from the visitors.
Poor Emily and Caroline weren’t able to watch the show as they were busy setting up the recepetion downstairs – wine flowed, flowers and cards exchanged, photos, interviews,
hugs and tears …. the magic of theatre!

The final countdown!

Not many blog posts this last few weeks – we’ve been too busy in cinema2 practicing songs and lines and cues. Rehearsals are really stepping up now. The show is looking and sounding better and better each time we run it through.The performers are giving their all and each individual is bringing their own unique style and particular voices to the piece. Vi has a prominent role in the storytelling – watch out for the pram – and she sings! Jean’s singing and dancing talents also show that this isn’t the only performance she’s been involved in – the experience shows. Alec is beginning to sing out really well and has worked very hard on his story. He’s the technical man and will bring his special equipment on the night. Paul is taking several roles through the piece and has a fab solo blues number he’s co-written with Jonathan. Grace delivers an inspiring story and again she is now revealing a rather beautiful singing voice in a number that has recently been added to the show. Dolly has been our poet from day one, as well as coordinating rehearsals back at Pine Lodge with the others.
Meanwhile Caroline and emily have tracked down a load of props and set and Bob is searching the internet for all the imagry that he will bring to life on the night.
