Hi
I love going to the theatre and i'm poised to get my tickets for Hamlet showing in London. David Tennent is to play Hamlet and my favourite shakespeare actor Pactrick Stewart is to play Claudius. I'm very excited about this. I saw Patrick Stewart perform a one man show of A Christmas Carol in Dec 2005 and he was amazing. I think he's a great actor. I'm pretty sure Tennent will do a good job too.
... to wendlane!
thanks for joining, and don't be afraid to write a post ... anything to do with theatre is allowed!
to markjt - thanks for joining us!
sorry this is taking a while, but i have now started putting act one together based on your contributions.
the first thing to say is how brilliant each individual bit is.
you've already made me laugh, scratch my head, think, and admire.
i'm hoping to get the first edit done by the end of this weekend because i'm away from monday to saturday next week and not much hope of doing it then.
if anything goes wrong, it will be the following weekend, so please bear with me!
my suggestion is that, in fairness to those of you who have taken the time and trouble to submit something, that i send each of you an email with the first draft of act one and ask you for your thoughts and any changes you want to make to your bits.
once that's out of the way, i'll make any changes and then i suggest i post something here with a link to the document so everyone in the group can read it, along with a proposal for how we can bring the play to a conclusion.
i'm already starting to see the play on stage!
if we carry on like this, we'll be doing auditions for a cast and looking for a theatre...
imagine that!
anyway, THANK YOU to everyone who has sent material to me, and others who have shown interest.
and please be patient a bit longer.
if anyone else is planning on writing a few lines of dialogue for our blogmeet play, can you let me have it by this weekend please?? please send me a private message if that's the case and i'll let you have my email address.
i've already got some great stuff, but there is still time if you want to take part, too.
i'll have to close off the invitation on saturday to give me time to put all the different bits together so that we end up with Act One.
hope that's ok with you, and THANKS to everyone who has written stuff so far.
it's going to be grand!
anyone ever seen or read this play?
i gather it is a bawdy restoration comedy.
i haven't got a copy so haven't got a clue about it yet.
sounds interesting, and a challenge, though!
last call for anyone wanting to take part in writing our new play ...
see previous post for details.
please post a comment over the weekend if you fancy joining in.
thanks!
members of theatregroup, lend me your eyes.
i promise i'll come back to you with a plan for our new play next week, if you're still up for it?
i've got a cunning plan ...
meanwhile, its the last night of 'the visit' tonight.
i'm going to be sad when it's over.
we had a great crowd in for the last couple of nights and it gave us all a big buzz.
but i will be glad of the rest.
the way the theatre is progamming things, its likely i'll get most of the summer off - yippee!!
anyway, see you soon...
ahhhh - the roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd!
i don't know about you, but i love ruby's idea of a revolving restaurant as the setting for our play.
let's stick with that for now.
next thing - what sort of play do we want to write?
a comedy?
tragedy?
farce?
thriller?
detective story?
etc etc
any thoughts on that gratefully received.
then we can move to the next stage (next stage ... clever, eh?)
