Season's Greetings Thoughts

[dweomeroflight]

It's about time I wrote this. I did see the play twice and keep thinking about how much I enjoyed it/had thinky thoughts about it. It was a good play in its own right (not just because we all know Nicola is acting Goddess) so review below cut link with some spoilers. There are more thoughts to perhaps blog on this play but they are still ruminating

You pretty much just said what would have been my review of the play too =D

I started off feeling really sorry for Rachel, but as the play went on and she refused to do anything about it, I kind of gave up. (On the character, obviously - never Nicola Walker =P)

Belinda was a character I was rather liking, up until the point where, as you say, she used sex kind of as a weapon against her sister in order to get Clive, and she knew Rachel couldn't compete.

Still, her scenes even after that were brilliant - the Christmas tree sex bit was hilarious, and when she kept coming back downstairs because she thought she'd left the oven on, etc. I was definitely stifling a laugh

Did you meet Nicola afterwards????????????

Glad you agree :P

Yes, yes you do.

[novindalf]

No, I didn't.

*sniff*

Still hoping to go up at some point next month or something. Maybe February.

That sucks :( I know exactly how that feels :( I cried in my hostel on and off all day the first time round :(

Good luck with the second time.

that's a great review, loved reading it!!
I'm super excited to see it!!!!!

if you get distracted by Nicola like I do and watch her sit there staring into space rather than watching the actual main part of the play
LOL this made me giggle, cause that's definitely going to be me!! :p

I've only heard The Big town All stars, which I loved. Would love to hear more

[dweomeroflight]

Hope I didn't ruin too much for you!

I was waaaaaaaaay to distracted by Nicola. There was one bit were she was sitting on the couch tilting her head from side to side and I was so distracted by this I missed all of the action and actual dialouge happening on the other side of the stage :P

I have Lifecoach, Gilly, The Listeners, The Big Bang: Genuine Particle, The Birds and Out of a Clear Sky. BTAS is so funny. My new fave thing for sure. I LOVE LORELAI AND HER TERRIBLE TASTE IN MEN DAMN IT.

[novindalf]

Ooh, I don't have Gilly or The Listeners. Might I possibly be able to ask you for them? XD

[novindalf]

And yes, Lorelei is fantastic!!

[dweomeroflight]

Aw thanks :) I try ;)

I was waaaay distracted by Nicola. There was one point where I was craning my neck to stare at her in the chair in darkness for about fifteen minutes because I didn't want to miss anything.

Her voicework is astounding. I don't understand how one person can be so talented :P

[dweomeroflight]

Hi :)

Yes, yes you do!

Great review....I'm still in the process of writing mine from seeing her on March 6th!

I'm another one that was almost constantly focused on what NW was doing, right from the moment she arrived and headed up to the attic guestroom.

Hi Gem,

Thanks for the comment :) I was waaaay too distracted by Nicola. Really the guy next to me was like wtf girl? The action is over this side (coz I was craning my neck over to where Nicola was sitting in the dark :P )
