Rape Of The Fair Country First Night: Robocop in the Kitchen and the missing gun

Last Night was interesting. Yesterday our situation was that we hadn't finished our tech and had only ran act one. Bugger. From experience with the nomads I knew that tech runs can be hasty things so I still had confidence. A few days ago it suddenly hit me of what a mammoth undertaking this is. Its such a huge project and is the most ambitious thing I've ever done. I have 12 costume changes, several characters and 7 entrances into the space. The performance itself went rather well considering some of the costume I'd only got on the morning and was still getting used to. Minor cockups occurred with the cueing when during an intimate kitchen scene the sound of a furnace explosion was heard. This was my cue to come on for the next scene, which resulted in me entering the space and coughing. Also at the end of the play, I couldnt find my gun and had to use an axe handle instead. We got a good applause though at the end which was nice. I've got to go back in a bit as there are some wrinkles that need ironing out.
