Slight update on audition news....
I got a phonecall this evening. Apparently the company are more then interested in hiring me, to add to that--it's in a London based troupe, so I would be touring locations but get to stay at home (meaning higher pay as they wouldn't charge me accomodation costs) however....this is the big BUT...
They've already cast the part two weeks ago. :( They cast an American. She was sweet enough on the phone to tell me that I would have been her first choice if I had been at the same casting.
Fortunately for me, and i feel so horrible saying that, this guy is struggling with his visa and if he doesn't phone her by tomorrow to give an update- i'm going to be offered the part. I realise the irony that i may recieve some fortune, through someone elses bad visa misfortunes and I can more then sympathise with my US counterpart over shitty visa problems...but I would more then love to do panto this Xmas!
I just told my dad what had happened, and he said (not meaning offense i'm sure) 'wow, i'm amazing at how much competition there is for poxy little pantomines.' It makes me realise sometimes how people, even our own parents, misjudge how difficult aspects of our life is and how much need there is in me right now to be acting, 'even if it is for nursing homes and schools!' In my Dad's defence, he didn't mean it to hurt at all--but it did.
On a side note, Torchwood. I'm really disappointed. It's just not Who. And it's not anything else really either. Sure, it's ok, but it was an opportunity wasted i think. Maybe it's just finding it's feet.
