The thing is I don't actually have anything to say. My life has been relatively dull. Our performance of 'Find Me' is on in three days and, believe me, 'Find Me' makes 'Midsummer' look over rehearsed. We're screwed, but this one counts for a shocking amount of our exam. However (good news ^-^) as the last resort of my Theatre Studies teacher, I get to direct the half hour Shakespeare Schools version of 'King Lear' all by my billy todd!! ^-^ Woot!!
I am actually quite looking forward to this, as long as the year tens do as they're told, but admittedly last year the biggest pain up the arse is too old to be in this production, so all should go well. This is on in October, which means that as soon as I go back after study leave (if not before) then the rehearsals will start for that, because there is going to be another mad panic about three days before that because some people won't have learnt their lines (which reminds me, I got a mug!!! All of the Midsummer cast did, it has a cast picture on it, tis really cool!). But that means that the first meeting for Midsummer was the very first day of school, and I'm very willing to bet there will be a 'Lear' rehearsal on the last day of school, which will mean that there will not have been a point during this school year that I will not have been working on a production. Which is really weird, good lord I need a social life!
What should we be called though? When we did 'Much Ado About Nothing' we were the 'Much Ado Crew', and then we were the 'Midsummer Dream Team', but the only word I can think of that rhymes with 'Lear' is..... well... Nobody wants to be known as the 'King Lear Queers' do they??
