No, I haven't bought a new mirror. It's the title of a play (Wot I'm acting in). Only just over two weeks of rehearsals to go and then The Cardiff Players http://www.cardiffplayers.org/ can wow the audience with their production of Amanda Whittington's fantastic play. No pressure, Amanda's only coming along to see us perform on one of the four nights, from 9th-12th October. We'll do her proud.
The trailers that Mr Lance Eggleton has produced are setting a very high level of anticipation. Three are now available to view on youtube, the latest being this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrg8wTVLop8
Make sure you don't miss this Welsh Premiere of the play, that only finished a run in London in May this year. Tickets available from http://www.ticketsource.co.uk/search/searchEvent.asp?event_id=41806
Good practice then to help out the NHS a week ago in training their staff in dealing with scenarios involving palliative care. It was a great experience and good practice too for TV work, as you had to imagine being one to one with the GP or nurse and forget about the 5 people watching from positions roughly where cameras could be on set/location. No script, just keywords and symptoms to bring into a consultation as a patient, or concerned family member of a patient. Six scenarios to act out, so a traumatic day, and to finish I had rehearsals and was partly responsible for a woman receiving the death sentence. A deserved beer that night.
'Stats & Pats' (Office of National Statistics and Intellectual Property Office AmDram group) had a read through last week for the charity pantomime (co written with Mr Eggleton and Miss Hayley Moseley). 'Big Bother in Little Panto Land' will try to repeat last year's success with 'Santa Gets the Sack' in raising funds to help pay for a Newport Veterans and OAPs Xmas lunch and variety performance. If we exceed or even just match last year it will be worth every effort. Who knows, maybe someone else trying out acting will have a similar experience to my own and find themselves on stage time and time again. Be warned, applause is addictive.
The books 'Spectre Antiques' and 'Spector's Revenge' continue to spread worldwide. Maybe I can find time to write the third in the series during 2014.
That holiday in Lanzarote seems a lot further in the past than a mere month. Very beautiful island: nice hotels, beaches, people and food (and drink).
Now, let's have another practice of my lines.
Have fun people. I hope to see you at 'The Thrill...' Exciting times ahead.
