A part to die for

I was delighted to find out over the weekend that I had got a part in the murder mystery play I’d read for the week before last.

The director was still waiting on confirmation for a couple of other people and so had asked that nothing be shared on social media, just in case a last-minute re-shuffle had been required, but today the “official” announcement was made to the group so we’re ok to share the news. 

I was equally delighted to find that I will be sharing the stage with Samm for the first time (in a play) and that ayearinthelife is up there with us too. There is one new chap to the group and a couple of other ladies who are new to me, but have done stuff for the group already, so it feels like a good cast and I’m looking forward to meeting and seeing everyone on Wednesday.

Pretty excited about the opportunity to tread the boards once more and spent a nice portion of Sunday afternoon doing the age-old thing of highlighting my lines, repeatedly telling myself “I’ll never learn all this” and marking a couple of other where I know I am going to have to stop myself from giggling – you can’t in all good conscience expect an immature amateur (very) actor not to corpse when “willy” and “levity” feature in the same sentence.

I’m only human.
