Bentwater Roads: Line Learning
10 June 2010Not called in for rehearsals at all, so launched myself straight into line learning. After that I delved deep into my book The Pillars of the Earth - the main character Tom was working on restoring a burnt Cathedral. In the evening we had a group outing to see Mercury Colchester's production of King David, a modernized drama of the downfall of David (as in David and Goliath). It was great fun heading out as a large group and we all had a lot to say about the show on our way back home. Silki, Tony and I crept into the Greyhound at 11:01 and the landlord graciously let us order a round. Tony started to entertain us with stories of veteran actors who had froze (forgotten their lines) on stage and one in particular actor who had run off stage after freezing only to make a quick exit through the bathroom window, never to return. Hmm... retired to bed, taking a quick and reassuring look at lines before nodding off.
