‘Funny Ha Ha!’
We were at the Unicorn Theatre, Abingdon a beautiful Elizabethan style stage built inside an old abbey. This is home to the Oxfordshire Drama Network’s One Act Play Festival, currently in their 28th year.
It’s fair to say the cast were nervous and not at all prepared as we hadn't had the opportunity to rehearse in our break! But this made for a performance with an edge. Becky and Darren know the play inside out and after five festival performances they are exploring their characters even more and finding various little nuances in the play to bring out. The audience really took to it and the kind words of the adjudicator, Arthur Aldrich were very pleasing. We wait to see if we are asked to return to perform again at the gala night on Saturday.
If we do, then another blog update
will appear. In the mean time, no
more rehearsals...it seems to
work!
