Method acting

This weekend I have carried out some very valuable acting excercises.

Last night I researched the feelings of being very drunk on several bottles of Taittinger. I now have the sense memory of wanton drunkeness. I feel this will be very useful for improv scenes.

This morning I have researched the feelings of being absolutely and terribly, terribly, terribly hungover. I now have the sense memory of utter sickness and queasiness.

In addition, and this was a great bonus, I have the emotional recall of what I said yesterday.

More work may be required on "chat-up lines" I am afraid.

I seem to have a hazy recollection of saying, and this is just after I intoduced myself;

"I must ask you a question, the answer to which will affect our future conversations this evening. Do you like Bikes?"

I received a negative reply.

I then said, and I cringe to think of this;

"then, madam, you are no further use to me!" and walked off.

So I can add, shame and embarassment to my emotional recall abilities.

I think I can safely say that I shall be single for some considerable time to come.

oh dear

Super Troupers

Ollie named us! Super Troupers!

I have researched the following plays this morning. (Work???????????? zzzzzzzzzzz)

Blue Suede Shoes - Diana Raffle. (although set in an old peoples home, the cast performing it around the world are all about our age)

Last Tango In Little Grimley - David Tristram (I REALLY want to do this, but it will involve some re-writing as it's 2M 2F at the moment, could be done though! Ollllllliiiiiiieeeeeeee?????)

In at the Deep End - Derek Benfield

Over my dead body - Derek Benfield

It started with a kiss - John Godber

Perfect Wedding - Robin Hawdon

These, apart from Last Tango, are all 2M4F plays

If you get a chance take a look at them.

If anyone is able to buy a copy by Monday and get some copies made, we may be able to have a little read through.
