klwardA news item on the Theatre of Blood has appeared. Now, if only they'd used a picture of us! We are all so very photogenic, especially Irving with his head in the guillotine.
With two weeks to go until the opening night on the 30th, rehearsals are building up a good velocity. The three plays flow really well, from thriller to black comedy and thence to Orgy in the Lighthouse. Which is especially photogenic and blasphemous to boot. I have learnt much about stage combat, the operation of guillotines and the history of the Newtown Theatre. Did you know that the building was originally a masonic hall? Built in 1890 by rebel nationalist masons who had been suspended from the main lodge in the Newtown Town Hall? One subsequently became Mayor. The theatre has a, dare I say suitable atmosphere? And you can get a seat right next to the bar if you're early.
Come one, come all, come often!
