new_kateThe first stage of my foray into amateur dramatics is over! We have performed!
I think it went rather well. We pretty much sold out the first night and still had a respectable audience on the second. Okay, there were only like 30 chairs in the room, because we were putting on that play in a pub function room and couldn't move the pool table. ANYWAY.
It was super smooth both nights, no technical glitches, no fumbled lines, no unexpected ninja attacks. Granted, there wasn't that much to go wrong. For example, my part consisted of 40 minutes of sitting on the couch and spouting enigmatic lines - is Harold Pinter really a popular playwright over here? That play was like the opposite on a crowd pleaser.
Still, people clapped! And complimented us later when we hung out in the pub attempting to get drunk enough to stop shivering! And the director was happy, and, all in all, YEAH GO ME! \o/
My arms don't actually go like this \o/ in real life right now because to properly unwind from all that stage fright I've spent yesterday getting to a score of 1500 on Wii Sports Resort Swordplay. I am utterly useless in every sport ever, in real life and Wii both - even the Wii version of table tennis leaves me deeply baffled and vaguely ashamed of myself - but SWORDPLAY, oh, it speaks to my heart. So awesome.
