Fur Coat & No Knickers!

No that's not me being rude, that was the name of the play I've been in, which finished last night. We had an absolutely fabulous time doing the play, we sold out every night & even had to turn people away, so it's been a great success and I thought I'd share a couple of pics with you from the show. They're not the best quality as they were taken on my phone in the dressing room, I'll try & get some better ones off one of the other cast members.

The play was a farce, set in the late 70's and is based around Deidre Ollerenshaw (me) who is getting married and the shenanigans that go on at the stag do & wedding (a blow up doll was involved and a drunken Irish Priest!!!)

The first pic is me & Jane, who plays my mother Edith

Pic 2 - me in my wedding dress

Pic 3 - The Happy Couple (but not for long!)

Opening Night - A Success!

Our latest Theatrical offering down at Horsehay Amateur Dramatics is an evening of 3 one-act plays. It's the first time the company has done something like this and we weren't sure how well it would go down with our very loyal audience, ticket sales were very slow last week, but we needn't have worried. Opening night last night to a full house who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. It was quite a mixture of plays, the first was a drama, the second a Noel Coward comedy (bit old fashioned for me) and the last, which I was in, was a good old farce and very funny. We all had great fun doing it and it went really well last night, no prompts, no mishaps and the special effect (a small explosion!!) went off exactly right - for the first time ever! Two more nights to go and then a rest, which'll be nice but I always miss it the minute I stop.

Here's a couple of piccies, two from rehearsals and one from the dress rehearsal. For a nice change it was fairly normal clothes for me, although I did have to look a bit frumpy!

This afternoon I shall be stuffing my bra!!

Oh yes, you did read that right - and it's not everyday a girl can say that!! It's all for my other love, after crafting, which is Amateur Dramatics. We're currently rehearsing for a play called "Habeas Corpus" a comedy by Alan Bennett, and my character is a dowdy, flat chested spinster, gosh I'll have to draw on all my acting talents to portry that one ;-) LOL who buys herself a lovely pair of false boobs and that's where confusion and all sorts of nonsense sets in. Hence the stuffing of the bra to give myself a rather impressive G cup! Hubby's eyes nearly fell out of his head when I showed him the "tester bra" stuffed with socks!

I will post pics of the play and me with & without my "appliance" to give you all a giggle.
