So, hello WOSers. Please come and see this new production of Twelfth Night starting next week, with Old Time Music Hall inspiration running right through it.
It's really well cast, and is absolutely enchanting and beguiling, with some beautiful new settings of O Mistress Mine and Come Away Death (the songs in the original script). Very funny, and yet very moving and romantic.
It also happens to feature me, but don't let that put you off - I'm playing the trombone more than I'm acting. And don't let that put you off, either - my new trombone mute finally arrived at the rehearsal venue this afternoon.
Starting on Tuesday the 21st at the Space, near Mudchute DLR, and continuing into January at Hoxton Hall and Middle Temple Hall. Details at our website.

I wouldn't say a word that could be reckoned as injurious,
But to find a mother younger than her son is very curious,
And that's the kind of mother that is usually spurious.

First review out. He liked the acting (and I'm really glad he singled out the people he did). Not quite so keen on the design.

"Great performances... engaging, amusing and remarkably fluid".
Happy Christmas, one and all.

I went to see this last night and had an enjoyable evening, the cast was very good. Worth going to see, it moves from the Space to Hoxton Hall next week which may be a slightly better layout as they were hard to see from the back in some scenes at the Space.

Thank you for the kind words, Tracy, and thank you for the kind wishes, Lynette.
Edit: Been to Hoxton Hall for the first time today. Wow, I think I've fallen in love with the venue.

So, yes, it's all over now. More or less recovered, although my small bag of dirty laundry hasn't moved since I got back from Middle Temple late on Sunday.
And I should mention now that it was my first professional Fringe acting, apart from a couple of bits when I was younger. So I hope it wasn't too obvious that I've just made the first tentative step from the amateur world.
We had some lovely audience feedback, particularly about the Hoxton shows and Middle Temple Hall. We had a cast member withdraw due to illness, and a very brave and really good eleventh hour replacement (who was word perfect very quickly - I didn't notice she wasn't reading from the script until halfway through my scene with her). So, yes, loved the experience.
Very good Stage review. Awful Time Out review - although there were rumours that the TO reviewer came the day after the Time Out Christmas office party. I'm sure these rumours are completely unfounded, though.
But what an experience.
There was also a lovely blog entry from an audience member that very accurately recalls the staging (apart from swapping audience's left and right and stage left and right around - but I'm really pleased he enjoyed the show).

Thanks for pointing out my left/right confusion! I've now corrected the post!
