I couldn't be more proud! We all sat around the computer this morning in Barking, listening to Radio Cumbria streaming live, for the world premier of Words Worth Hearing; mum's first broadcast radio play. I think it's terrific, but I accept I'm biased! So, included below is a recording (not the best quality - but I didn't want to wait for the CD they'll send later) and you can make your own decision.

Before and After - Theatrical Changing Rooms
It is the day before our first performance of The Odyssey. We arrived at Carlow Town Hall with a bus stuffed full of set and props. Our director was first to see the venue 'it is interesting. Let's just say it is a little unloved'. And it really was. A beautiful room with high ceilings and great acoustics - it even has blacked out windows. It amazes me how such a great room is left to house a few archive boxes of 'dead files'.
So we mopped and swept and hoovered and even cleaned toilets, and by the time the set was in and the lights were up, it was a different room.
Next job was to try and drum up an audience. As far as we know, there has been no publicity for the play at all. We each picked up a pile of leaflets and hit the streets. Most people we talked to seemed interested and a few said they'd come along, but how many of those were being polite... I guess we'll find out tomorrow night.
See below for before and after photos.

The Show's Over
That's it for another year; Market Boy is over after a 4 night run. I am exhausted, but this play has been really good fun to do. In fact one of the most enjoyable I've done for quite a while and I think this is a lot due to the fact that the group have been very cohesive and therefore great to work with.
So the busiest two or three weeks of my year is coming to and end. With the play now finished I can concentrate on getting my reports completed and get the horrible SATs marking out of the way. I'm quite looking forward to getting my life back!
