The play's the thing
We've been getting on quite nicely without being involved much in am dram for a few months, but after our RSC Barbican adventure, Mel and I were keen to do some Shakespeare. So we went to a readthrough for a semi-pro Much Ado About Nothing, which didn't come to much as it would have been really awkward to get home after rehearsals.
And then we went to a voice workshop looking at speaking Shakespeare in particular, part of the preparation for an am dram production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, the play that seems to follow me around. The upshot is that at the end of April we're going to audition for that production, which will be an open-air show in July, in Chiswick. Mel and I are both incredibly excited, and we're going to do our level best to audition for Hermia and Lysander. The group is close to our old company, and shares a few members, so we already know quite a few people.
Wish us luck!
