I hope everyone had a lovely xmas day!! I had a wonderful day:) The usual Bott house madness but we were all peeling veg and putting crosses in brussels and laying the table and it was lovely to be here with my family and enjoying their company. Had a big dinner as i'm sure most people did and received so many wonderful presents, thank you everyone ( Read more... )

I have a horrible sore throat and cold. I haven't slept properly in two nights, eeeeek! Can't wait to be at home, Alistair snuggles would have cured me i believe ( Read more... )

We began Top Girls on Tuesday and i'm amazed at how quickly things have developed. We were all cast on wednesday and we've 'cracked open' most scenes. Joan has anecdotes coming out of her ears and i think we'd save at least two hours every day if she didn't tell us stories about EVERYTHING! But it's going well and in some ways the atmosphere is ( Read more... )

Hello December and Christmas! Yippeeeeeee!!! Master and Margarita is finally over!! As much as i loved it in places, performing is horrid, i was just nervous and didn't sleep for two weeks! And now i've got to do it again, oh myyyyyyyyy.....!! And it's wonderful to have a clean face and actually put normal make-up on my skin. And i wore a skirt ( Read more... )

I'm not going to talk about the thing that is threatening to take over my life. I watched Harry Potter tonight which was fab. I love you Alistair. Can't wait to go home for xmas xxxxxxx

And i keep getting positive feedback for how i'm playing Pilate. Strange as i come off stage feeling dispirited and crap. And then David says he likes the way i played pilate and ( Read more... )

Guy fawkes. We're mean to celebrate the death of a man who was only experimenting with gunpowder! How do we even know he was plotting to blow up parliament? History books? What use are they ( Read more... )

I have been cast....as Pontius Pilate. It's quite overwhelming. I am happy and i would have been happy with a number of parts but actually knowing who i have to play is rather scary but exciting. I am also playing three smaller parts in the scenes when Pilate isn't on so the whole ensemble feel of the piece will be amazing. Eeeeeek! But we have ( Read more... )

Today has been long! I didn't get to sleep until 2am, i was so nervous about my play and about today, honestly, it's very silly. Got up at 8am to print it all off and sort myself out and was busy until lunchtime. Salka came back to mine and we ate before our rehearsals began for Master and Margerita! Was a fantastic afternoon, i must say that my ( Read more... )

MY EYES!! And my wrists. Typing is horrid. I don't want to finish my play. But i totally do at the same time. I need several more months and then it will be perfect! I've changed it so much these past couple of days and i am finishng it with some dialogue so random i don't think i even know what i mean ( Read more... )
