argh!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok ok, plans plans.
we have decided upon Hamlet for wednesday, 9th july at 1:30pm. bookings not yet made. will find out tomorrow whether you all have to be there with me to provide your ids for the "under 27" discount.
i'm sorry. high tea will not do on 5th july. uni students' drama is going ahead full steam, and although i won't actually be in the production this year, they still haven't found someone for my part. but!!! kids' drama is having 2 weeks break because of school holiday, so i'll be free on sunday, 6th july! does that still sound good for high tea?
and dear lydia, i would love to see The Great on friday, 11th july. how does that work for you?
ah, suddenly feel so busy, there's so much going on! want to meet up with a lot of friends before leaving and i also need someone to teach me how to ride a bike. a lot of shopping to do to get a bike, a lap top, a [digital] camera, a sleeping bag, etc. and work and drama!!!
we had a meeting for the kids' drama theatre today. planning on what to do next. i only found out yesterday that my teacher wants to take this play to china next year, which means i wouldn't be able to extend my stay in europe if i liked it. but i was really happy to see all the children and their parents being excited and supportive of the teacher's ideas.
the audience feedback for last week's performances was way beyond my expectation. we were all worried about the play, but it was last minute and no turning back. we'd look the biggest fools if we doubted our own acting onstage, so everyone put their hearts to it and the result ... i am so relieved. how could it end any other way. how could we accept it to end any other way. to have failed to deliver a good performance would completely break my teacher's heart, because it would mean that we failed to carry out her husband's dying wishes.
the success of the play has also renewed our hopes in continuing to run the kids' theatre. today, there was so much support from the parents, the kids, and the uni students who helped us backstage. i was very emotional this afternoon. i felt so warm sitting amongst these people with whom i have shared a piece of my heart. we've been together for so many years and really, we have all laid our hearts bare to each other to learn and negotiate our different approaches to acting. they are very precious to me. i don't think i can lose anyone at drama.
