It’s tipping it down. Yesterday was one big rain-a-thon. Not much fun to flyer in, especially whilst sporting hydro-degradable pumps. They had virtually disintegrated by the afternoon. Got us a slot on Festival FM yesterday morning. Had to pitch up to the radio recording studio at 11 to do an interview and excerpt from our play. Judging by the inability to tune in to 87.7 FM with any ease, it must be much more of an internet radio station. After a scenic tour of Leith- Nina and I got on the wrong bus (no euphemism for batting for the other team intended- just genuinely got on the wrong bus) and ended up running really late, getting out in Leith and then jumping in a minicab. Don’t you hate it when you’re in a desperate rush and the cabbie’s all chatty and ‘don’t worry darlin, I’ll get you there on time…’ and then proceeds to ask you to navigate from an out of date A-Z. Got there by skin of teeth. They interviewed another show before us. The DJ looked as interested in both their show and ours as Posh Spice is in chocolate. A tit in a trance. Did a bit of a preamble on Class. I sound about 12 on the phone and radio. Elisha has a great radio voice and did really well. Then the guys did part of the hospital scene related to class. Hope it got us some publicity.
Went for brunch. Pissed wet through. Went for coffee. Pissed wet through. Went to see Little Shop of Horrors. Cringed. Wished I’d brought my earplugs at times. Met my friends. Pissed wet through. Had tea and buns. Pissed wet through. Then did a couple of hours of flyering at the half price hut. Miserable but fruitful. Looking back on the report we sold 29 out of 30 of our half price tickets.
Last night’s show was GREAT! We had 85 in the audience. The place looked full. It was fantastic. Atmosphere is loads better when you get a good bunch in. Very chuffed. Finished up and read the review that One4Review.com wrote us. It’s a bad one. 2 stars only saying it didn’t work. Would be easier to take on the chin if their review was well written but it honestly looks like someone who hasn’t passed their GSCE English wrote it. The one good thing about it was that Kate got a really good write up. She’s doing fantastically. It’s bloody brilliant. So glad she’s Lynda. It’s a really genuine symbiosis of Lynda’s gutsy character and Kate’s great acting ability. Well done Kate.
Got bad M.E today. Shouldn’t have drunk whiskey and caffeine last night. Only had 3 drinks but really silly in my condition. Nay mind. Just gonna do nothing until later and get out flyering later. It’s still raining!
