God I'm knackered. 1 more week of Hamlet and it's all over. I've really enjoyed it - how many people get the opportunity to play the lead in Hamlet - but I'll be so glad when the last show rolls round on Friday. I'm battered and bruised to buggery I can tell you...
All this means that I start on Mack and Mabel officially next week - all the prelim work is done and now it's doing the fun bit putting the show together, and being a bit creative with the staging. Usually I hold back on shows, particularly on the more outlandish ideas, because I think that we realistically can't do it - some get through like a man dropping from the grid and parachuting onto the stage - but in the main 90% gets put aside. Not in this show though - I've decided 'f*ck it, lets just be as creative as we can' and it's the right show for it.
Anyway all this meandering is getting to the point that I found an excellent 'clever staging' show that is in keeping with where I'm heading - 'The 39 steps' a comedy version based on the movie - looks brilliant. Might just rip off the whole thing.....;). Sorry, I didn't mean 'rip off' I meant 'emulate' if any lawyers are reading....
