And it's over

bookzombieSo that's another show finished. After two runs yesterday, My Fair Lady is done.
But we did have a wonderful surprise for the final performance. When we went on the trip to Egypt last November we ended up spending a lot of time with an older couple and two (what![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pennski has described as) 'feisty divorcées'. This was just after the auditions and we talked about the show with them.
About half-way through last week we remembered that we were going to send them the details of the show and, frankly, we completely forgot.
So last night they turned up, having organised the whole thing without any help (or indeed reminders) from us! They came all the way down from Northampton and Birmingham just for the show and I cannot tell you how touched we were by this. One of the other couples from the trip would also have come if they didn't have a family wedding they had to go to. It really capped the week beautifully.
Anyway, after the final performance we helped clear the theatre and then spent a couple of hours having drinks and nibbles at a fellow cast-member's house, finally getting to bed about 2pm (which is very late for us!).
Today I'm feeling fairly tired and headache-y but fairly cheerful. We've just watched last night's Doctor Who, which despite the usual dodgy science was a great improvement on the frankly poor Dalek double-episode. Just planning to do some more pottering around today. Tomorrow's plan is to head out to the cinema for Spider Man 3.
