All the World's a Stage
Tonight is the night, the big initial meeting when I finally get to see all my 'new recruits' meet up with the long standing amateur actors that reside in these hallowed halls. The first drama club meeting - oh, how I have longed for this day, dreamed of it. This really is the best time of year.
Of course, it would have been more satisfying if Mr Henry had still been here. I'd been working on him since summer and had him in the palm of my hand, right where I wanted him. I could have run this club for the year and he wouldn't have dreamed of gainsaying me.
But no, he had to go and have a heart attack - typical.
So we have this new teacher, this Heather Vargas. A unknown quantity. Hmm...
Playing in my favour is, of course, the fact that she's a woman, so I feel it may be time to turn on the charm, something which I have in bucketfuls. It should have started this morning with her delivery. I hope she likes them.
