Round up of September 2010 - July 2011 season

I am a neglectful parent.  I admit it.  My baby, my blog wasn't fed between April and September 2011.

If I give an account of every performance I'll be here forever.  My baby will burst.  So I'm going to limit myself to one sentence or line describing each performance from April to the end of the summer season.

1. May 2011 - Brighton Fringe - New fringe, new play (10 Questions) , new friends, a new life for the future?  Maybe one day.

2.  May 2011 - Kirtlington - 10 Days - fourth visit to Kirtlington  Much fun trying on the lollipop man's uniform backstage.

3.  May 2011 -Dunchurch - 10 Days - Biggest, best audience ever.  I love you, Dunchurch.  Stay with me.

4.  May 2011 - Hallaton - 10 Days - Classy Leicestershire audience.  Top nibbles.  

5.  May 2011 and June 2011 - Stratford Fringe - 10 Qs and Double Booked:  Most hilarious venue ever.  Low point: Man coming to remove sound system 30 mins before show went up.  High point: Previous performance including a totally genuine proposal of marriage on stage.

6.  June 2011 - Rock - Double Booked - Rock being the apposite word.  Backdrop is a climbing wall.  Acoustic nightmare but you could all hear, couldn't you.  I said "YOU COULD ALL HEAR, COULDN'T YOU?"

7.  June 2011 - Tysoe - 10 Days.  Tysoe,  if I wasn't already promised to Dunchurch you could marry me.  Love you.

8.  June 2011 - Abberley - 10 Days.  Must confess I did arrive feeling a little tired, but the pure air way up high in Abberley lifted my spirits.

9.  June 2011 - Clipston - Double Booked.  Rather an interesting conversation after the show with a lady who called me Ruth.  Somehow I couldn't bring myself to tell her that Ruth's the character I play.  I'm Ginny.  Flattering, I suppose.

10.  June 2011 - Stratford upon Avon - KES - Double Booked.  Do not recommend hearing that your daughter has had a car-write-off crash for relaxation therapy just before you leave home to go to a venue.  Also, next time (if there is one) please could someone remind me about the 85 chimes at 8 pm on a Friday night from the clock right above the venue.

11.  July 2011 -Buxton Fringe - Double Booked.  Best review I've ever had.  Show nominated for Best Theatre Production.  Am now going to take a short holiday.
