Looks like Penelope Keith will get a panto offer...
Intrigued now..!
Yes, but STILL not living there! It's like Three Sisters and Moscow! One day..
@garyhills.bsky.social you just crossed my mind the other day..hadn't seen you on The Other Site for ages! Ca va?
Self tape instruction clearly states actor's own accent-RP in my case. Three ordinary everyday lines. OK....
On taping, appalling Bristol accent emerges from my mouth which makes me sound (and apparently look...eye rolls, blinking) like I am possessed by a demonic Wurzel.
I saw it over 30 years later at Notts Playhouse and suddenly, not having thought of it for years, remembered every word! And every prop, obviously...
Another "backstage" memory for me! First time I did proper professional ASM duties..props on The Caretaker, always playing this re-setting between shows.( then did props on so many shows with rubbish/debris on the set, the local theatre critics(my dad was one) called them "Sarah Carleton Sets".)
Halfway through January and I'm already overdrawn and have not yet dared look at my tax bill. Anyone else? (Sarah arrives on bluesky and spreads her usual positivity and cheer through the charming community, sorry).
Well you are already a Raymond Briggs icon!! it should be done!
Stepping Out...reminds me of clearing up the Bomb in the first stage show of When the Wind Blows. We played it every night setting up. Love it.
๐ง๐ฆ!!
Going to have to listen to it now! cue 1980s-post-A-Levels-not- really-nostalgia...!
LOVE this one! But I think Even in the Quietest Moments album wins for me..
@imstoddicus.bsky.social And you're here! Good, I would have missed your wit and wisdom! WHAT.
When I started on Twitter, I wandered endlessly eavesdropping on backstage conversations inter various West End shows and naturally found out who to follow that way. That REALLY isn't allowed nowadays! so I am not sure how to find the proper heart of this one...
Having been your agent in three different agencies, I can only support this view...! #Mikeaherneforsamuel
Trying to figure out how to work it!
Ok, I am here now too, can we PLEASE talk about stagy things and jazz hands and all that... jazz... again?
