bookzombieThe second performance went very well, and P. was back, hoorah! We had a much more reactive audience who laughed at most of the right places (and as always some where you find yourself thinking: huh? Did I miss a joke somewhere?).
Just to explain, Tuesday night (the first performance) was the night when the gang of miscreants we refer to as 'The Chain Gang' turn up: in other words the Mayor of Andover and his or her (her this hear) fellow local mayors and hangers-on. They tend to be a quiet audience in general - they enjoy the music but you don't get too much laughter. My personal theory, for what it's worth, is that all that metal they have hanging around their necks absorbs the sound so they are really laughing but we can't hear them!
Anyway, my voice held up okay last night, though not perhaps as well as Tuesday. But today my throat has been much less sore and my voice less croaky so I think I'm finally on the mend.
At the dress rehearsal on Monday I took my camera with me and took over 400 photos (with the help of our chairperson who took my camera when I was on stage), which I may very wellinflict share a few of at some point.
In other news, the new windows are now finally in our loft (hoorah!) and as I type this can be heard the sound of the scaffolding being taken down!
