Ideal Husband - 3rd Night: The last line was said

Glyn remembered his last line. "I hope you will make this man an Ideal Husband" It was a good thing. Well its over now. I really did not get on with my character. 3 months of work. Learning lines whilst skiing. Its weird considering I was asked to do this job at the 24 thing. The audience loved it. Grae pocketed the watch he used on stage. While we were backstage we began talking about a script he's wrote called 'Aberystwyth'. Hes offered me the role of Dave that sounds pretty cool. After the play. I thankfully parted forever with Becky's trousers. We all then headed to the Bay, Rummers and then finally Ben's house. At Rummers we had a mini awards ceremony, where I got "Best replacement on the planet" and a carnation, which is on my window sill. Me still having an essay to do left quite early. Yesterday, I got up late and met Owain for filming on his film 'Human Being'. I basically played the bastard boyfriend who ignores the girl. There was singing involved though. Another song to learn this week! After that I went to a new rehearsal for 'Who Bumped off the Baggage?'We ended up on the beach with a large bottle of Brandy watching the sunset. I love this town. Today I handed in my essay and also handed a DVD in to the office so that 'Dogs on tour can be dumped down'. By the way, spoke to Joe who says that the 'Twelfth Night' DVD will be a double disc thing. Got a rehearsal tonight. Trying to perfect my Gandalf Voice.

An Ideal Husband - Second Night: Trousers and Apple Juice

We are going to have to ration the apple juice. That is our wine for the play. I can't help swigging the stuff. Second night was overall better than the first night. However, in act 1 I felt as if my acting was a bit off, I think I became lazy. However, it soon picked up. I liked the audience although they didn't outwardly laugh as much as the first night. Mike and Adam thought it was good though. Overslept this morning. Had half an hour to leg it down to the commitee rooms in the union to audition people again. Filming tomorrow with Owain for his film. Trying to do a drama esaay at the moment. Slow progress. Finished post-production for John and Sian's film yesterday, did some more voiceovers with them. Got to shop at some point. Tired as hell.

An Ideal Husband - First Night: The Timelord and Women's Trousers

Very Interesting day. This was how it went. Started with a 9.00 lecture that was cancelled. Bit of a bugger. At 10.00 I met some 3rd years to do filming with them. One of them was John's flatmate so I sort of knew her. What I do in their film is essentially start it. Its a music video which begins with a clown in the middle of the stage who sings to the audience the first 30 minutes of the song. This meant that I had to repeatedly listen to the song in order to remember it for filming. I was then made-up to look like a clown using the fingertips of the two 3rd years and some face make-up. I also donned an orange shirt, a suit with a dandelion and a bowler hat. Filming went really quickly and they were really pleased with it. At 12.00 I drove to the Arts College and met Tim and Catherine and together we eventually managed to cram the chaise-lounge into the corsa. It was agony. Eventually it worked, but the boot wouldn't shut completely. With Catherine riding shotgun we eventually made it to the museum (going the wrong way out of the oneway street, cutting up a white car and parking in a disabled spot). At 2.00 I had a film seminar and after that I went back to the flat and did my bloody hair. Ow. Incidentally by the end of the night Grae said that both our hair styles matched. At 3.45 I drove to a Drama practical at Llanbadarn for 4.10. Me and Dom worked on the Dumb-Waiter and its going to be quite funny (when we know the lines). I finished the practical at 6.00 and drove to the museum where I performed at 7.30. A few problems before I started: I didn't have any trousers until about 20 minutes before the performance. Ben went and leant me a pair of his but they were too big. In the end (sigh) I had to borrow Becky's (Mrs Chevely). This -combined with the braces- felt as if my area below the equator was wrapped tightly in gaffa tape. The worst was when I got up from sitting down, because the braces went taught and sent my trousers further upwards. All because Grae nicked my trousers. I was however able to salvage the shirt I wore in Twelfth Night which was quite cool. ACT ONE Fine - had to improvise slightly ACT TWO Fine ACT THREE Fine - felt as if I was not often drunk for the whole of it though ACT FOUR Fine - Although I was a little rusty. Forgot to take on my draft of the letter. Just realised that in both Twelfth Night and this one, I have been the bearer of a letter. Afterwards after extracting myself from the trousers (sorry Becky), we all headed over to Varsity where me and Grae were very tempted to order a Hock and Seltza. By the way Grae looked so much like Dr. Who

All I need is a hairclip

Havnt had time to do this for a while. Had a dress rehearsal this evening. Went alright. Stage is amazing. Things to do still: An Ideal Husband - For 3 Nights Who Bumped of the Baggage - For 2 Nights Dogs on Tour - Voice Over work - looks pretty cool Laura's film - Music Video - As a Gothic Clown Another 3rd Year Film - With people I did return of the Klems with Owain's film - As an extra Essay Made my choices today about what modules I will take next year. Today was me and Grae's great Subway escapade

Sunglasses

Nice day today. Had an interestingly-boring-thought-provoking lecture on German philosophy today. Started learning the Dumb-waiter amazing how much I know. Me and Jon met Craig in town (eventually) and we went off to play football. I didn't have too much time to kill as I was due at a rehearsal. After visiting the park and the castle, we instead opted to play on the beach instead. Bloody knackering but a good laugh. It ended up with us 'hoofing' (Jon's expression) the ball up the beach in the thick sand which made us move like the elderly. I got tons of sand in my socks as well as me shoes. At rehearsal I found out that we are performing a week Thursday. Magical. Got to go shopping tomorrow.

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy

Back. 1st Week Did not do a lot. Converted 'An Ideal Husband' into 3D Movie Maker. Me and Fain went for drinks with Chivers, Harty, Jo and Gary for Gary's birthday. Unfortuantely Gary had lost his driving license the week before and as he looks quite young was refused from Lloyds bar. The bouncer-lady-thing looked at my ID and spent a while telling me that I looked better in the photo than I did now. When I went out to stay with Gaz she asked me for the ID again and passed to other bouncers to see if they would agree. My photo on the afformentioned driving license makes me look more like a dimented ferret than anything human. In order to compare my face to the one in the picture she actually had to lift up my bloody fringe. 2nd Week Went sking in Auvoriaz. Brilliant. Me and Holly were in the same group and we did lots of red runs and blue runs with our guide Hubert (I think his name was). I fell over a bit (mostly on the rabbit runs) but I was majorly taken out by a bloke who I now call 'Eddie the Eagle'. He basically ran over me as I lay crumpled on the slope, with my sadistic sister laughing. Skiied into Switzerland aswell and gravel (in which 'Eddie the Eagle's' skis abruptly stopped whilst he carried on running). Learnt Lines. 3rd Week Did bugger all. Fain has got mumps which means that he could not speak to anyone for 10 days. I'll probably get it now, bugger. Me and Chivers decided it would be good if we went and had a party in his front garden. Went and saw C&T2 who I have not seen for nearly a year. They are doing 'Animal Farm' at the moment and apparantly it is a bit of a nightmare. Hopefully I will be going with them to BYTF this year again. Had a pint with Dan afterwards before going out for a meal with the Sadlers which was really good (especially the fish head). Went and sat in a rehearsal for my old highschool's new show. This is the first one they have done since 'Tom Sawyer' back in 2001 which I was in. Halfway through though, I had to duck out and go for an interview at the job agency. Spoke to a nice receptionist who looked at my ID and told me how good the photo was. Bloody hell. Did a few tests on Microsoft Word and Excel. Then went back to the rehearsal for the 'Quest for Love'. Had a nice chat to the lads about british comedy afterwards. Nice to see that the legendary Monty Python is still being remembered. Was going to leave for Aber on Saturday morning but got quite ill on Friday. Came back today. Me and Jon went and visited Craig. Craig bought me a book because of the lift home I gave him. It is 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories' by Tim Burton who is one of my favourite directors. I read it all whilst he and Jon were playing footie on the Playstation 2. Finished the Life of Pi. Brilliant. Also read 'Bare Bones' and 'Birdman'. Now I am reading the 5th Harry Potter Book because the 6th one is out in June.
