- Gut Girls, the show we've been rehearsing since November last year is finally coming to the stage of Shoreham Village Hall this week, with performances from Wednesday to Saturday.
- Because there is no way that I could be on stage every evening and up for work at 6.00am the next day, I have taken the whole week off. This also means I have more time for writing.
- Next Saturday, 5th March, is not only the final performance of Gut Girls, it is also my very first Bloggiversary; one year to the day since I started this whole blog-writing malarkey.
For these three reasons, and not just because I am a self-obsessed luvvy, I have decided that for the next seven days I will write a blog update every day - focusing on the happenings at the village hall, our final preparations and the performances.
A daily blog is not something I've attempted before, but I really like the idea of keeping an almost-live record of the week. I know that this is completely self-indulgent, and I've no idea how it will turn out, so I can only beg your forbearance. If the whole idea seems just too hideous, then all I can suggest is that you stay away from the blog for the next week or so, after which normal service will be resumed.
If, on the other hand, you fancy taking a journey through the stage-fright, the highs and lows, the glamour and greasepaint of a theatrical production in a small village in Kent, then please switch off your mobile phones and take your seats; the curtain is about to rise...

Just don't give away the plot! I've bought a ticket for friday!
Ooh! Exciting on so many levels. Good luck with the practice next week. Look forward to reading all abaht it.
I shall be watching keenly, if sporadically, from Iceland. Good luck!
Oh yes, yes! Absolutely nothing wrong with occasional self-indulgence. I'm sure it will all be very interesting.
Looking forward to reading the daily!
;)
I'm intrigued. And totally give the plot away...on Saturday, of course.
Waiting for it all...:)
I assume you are taking part rather than directing. This is the period when directors/producers are fending off nervous breakdowns, trying to keep actors and backstage happy, forgetting to shower and change and feeling faintly suicidal.
Break a leg.
Oooh! Good luck with the play - I love theatre - and cant wait for your updates!
I can't wait to read about it!
Good luck with the play I hope it's a success and the daily blogs should be interesting.
Yes, please. Sounds like it's going to be a great week for you, and for us!
Good luck with your performance! It sounds exciting :) Looking forward to your new project of writing every day.
I've got the popcorn ready and waiting. We are allowed popcorn, aren't we? :)
Have fun this week, S.
I'm on board. I'll be paying myself way too much for a glass of wine halfway through each post and pretend I'm in the lobby for intermission. Also, I will silence my cell.
Oh, this is exciting! I'm a little late, but better late than never :). No wonder Philip called you Gut Girl. I thought that was a funny term of endearment.
Lights, camera, action!
:)
