And our third from a cast member is from Amy W

After three nights of performances, I’m feeling just a bit tired but, most of all, proud. Of everyone else and myself. The distance everyone has travelled since we auditioned four months ago is incredible: Beth and Leah have learnt how to be regal and queenly with and without the aid of fake blood; Sam, Bobbie and Tom did murdered Holly. Amy O did an amazing job of picking up a role she didn’t start out with; Daisy and Amy were great at making fun of their friend; Merv taught Shelbie a new language; Amy O performed a heart wrenching monologue; Ellen and Libby were the masters of accents; Bobbie was enthralled in a news article about Jack the Ripper and Beth and Amy T were great at making fun of her; Tom and Lavanya made a brilliantly grown up marriage; Merv created Narnia in our wardrobe and Shelbie used great comic timing; Courtney reassured her friend and Georgia gave a fantastic performance about modern issues; Toni and Grace were the most amazing props people ever; Charlotte and James were great technical support; Oz made us a fantastic set and Sarah and Mikey have directed us to do all this. What I’m trying to say is that we should all be incredibly pleased. We set out to make a great performance and ended up with a play that can make people laugh, make them cry and make them think. We have achieved a great deal. Pretty much all of us have never been in a connections play before but what we’ve done so far makes me proud to have such talented friends and I cannot begin to imagine the quality of The Wardrobe by the time we get to Kendal but I do know we all have goals we need to work on. So bring it on!
