Two months in one post...

I really should have posted earlier. Quite a lot has been going on in the last couple of months and now I'm going to have to gloss over quite a bit of it to keep the post relatively short.

Right...

I'm still hanging around at the same job - I still haven't managed to find anything in Bangor yet. To be fair, this is a bit of a dry period for job vacancies around here. I might have a bit more luck in the summer when all the students leave.

In the meantime I'm moving back to Llandudno for a few months in April. My contract runs out then and, though I do practically live in Teras, I doubt they'll let me actually sleep there.

I am moving back in the summer though, which brings me to the next thing - from July I'll be living with four wonderful people in a much better house than the one I'm in right now. And I get a bigger room. I couldn't be happier. Well, I suppose if I was getting all that for my current rent. Or if I was living with five wonderful people. That might make things a bit crowded though. :P Either way, a massive, MASSIVE thanks to Miss Lucy Bishop for saving my bacon when my original housing plan fell apart.

Now to theatrical matters:

I didn't get a part in Earnest, specifically because of my working hours. This was very disappointing, especially since I couldn't blame the directors, but nor could I take it out on work. I was basically left with no-one appropriate to vent rage at.

I was offered a part the day before yesterday though. If there's one thing I'm apparently good at, it's ending up in plays because a cast slot needs filling more than half-way through a production.

221B went pretty well. I hear we had near to a full house on Sunday, which I proceeded to pull an angry badger on. ;)
Faustus is also going rather well. The first performance was last night and it went much better than I expected, especially my part, which was underrehearsed. In retrospect, I should have skipped the 221b rehearsal on the Monday of that play's production week to make the Faustus rehearsal. Sure, the 221b directors wouldn't have liked it, but I had ten times as many lines in Faustus as I did in 221b. :p
Either way, Faustus, despite all the worry, went well, and hopefully it shall do so again tonight.

I still don't agree with the monologue about Helen of Troy being pre-recorded though.

I have two major projects ongoing after Faustus is done. One is the filming of Malovlio's Revenge. We filmed the first scene a few weeks back, and I hear that Rose and Kerry are doing their scene some time soon. Perhaps they've already done it. Either way, the project is off the ground.

The other project is BEDS' production of a Clockwork Orange, in which I play the prison warder and Alex's dad. Neither character gets violent, but I've still had to learn some rather fun dance/fight choreaography. Hopefully, I'll finally get my script tommorow. :)

Right, I think that's enough catch up for now. I leave you with this genuinely interesting blog by the delightful Lauren Court-Dobson:
