Danny Southern from Sapphire company with his first and may I say accomplished blog...
Last year, the script for Beauty and the Beast was amazing, and this year, Princess and the Pea is just as good - if not better! The tale really is a Yew Tree production - I doubt that any other interpretation of the classic children's story could include princesses that are down-right-morbid Goths, skater chicks, OTT girls and who could forget the ugly-step-sister-shrek-esque masculine princess named Manlia (that could actually be a man, but who knows? They could just be really butch?). And only Yew Tree could pull off such a show with "the witchiest witch in all of witchville" called Kate who just so happens to be the most down-to-earth person you’d ever meet. I’m not going to give away anything from the story, but I’ve got to say that you’re going to have to see a doctor after, because your sides will be hurting that much from laughing. It’s that good.
Last year, I played Elliot, a narrator that was always messing about with his brother Edward and annoying their sister Eleanor. It feels strange this year going back to playing Elliot again; especially with the absence of Eleanor (she’s apparently gone on to “bigger things”). It also seems that my character has grown up a lot. He doesn’t want to be involved with Edward’s funny little games and play-on-words – Elliot would usually say something like “The Princess and the Pea…” and Edward would quickly get in by saying “The Princess needs a pee?” I’m really looking forward to playing the role and I can’t wait to see all the weird and slightly deranged princesses in September. Have a good holiday Yew-Tree-ers!!
