the play's the thing!

We're 3 performances down with 2 to go in Birmingham next weekend (28th and 29th at the Lamp, Barford Street) and we are buzzing!  It has certainly been a challenge (especially when our venue for Friday changed at the last minute from the Arthouse to The Bradbury Centre - ironically proving our most popular night in Worcester) what with getting the lights rigged at the start and taken down at the end, props packed away, and costumes taken home every night, never mind actually performing!  it is a full on play at the best of times but when there is only 7 of you, with no wing space to hide in, having to concentrate for the whole time - well, it consumes your whole being!  I think I can talk for each cast member when I say we are living, eating and breathing Hamlet....Audiences have been very appreciative but I shall forbear to quote the responses here - we still have performances to go and I don't want to jinx them!!! come and see for yourself - we'd love to see you in Elsinore, on the battlements, waiting in the 'nipping and eager air' for the coming of the ghost....
