suenixThis show is more fun than I have had in ages.
We are doing "What the Butler Saw".
There is no Butler, so he didn't see anything,
But if you were backstage you would see me doing the following:
Helping the male ingenue put on his wig, dress and heels.
Catching his drag outfit and a police uniform as he pitches them to me offstage.
Then bundling up up parts for him to take back onstage with him.
Waiting for him to strip naked while grabbing up all the costume parts he
has just got out of.
Running with all those parts to the quick change booth and laying them all out before he makes his mad naked dash across the stage and back to me.( By which time he is wearing nothing but a British bobby's helmet)
Reminding him to put his prop brooch into the the special "crotch" pocket built in his underwear as he redresses.
Meeting the same guy back stage with a stage blood soaked sponge so he can fake a gun shot wound.
When he exits again paint on a bullet hole so the wounds will be more realistic
And trying not to break out into giggles the whole time.
It's a flat out door slamming farce with interchangeable clothes and
identities. I hope it makes a mint!
My Aeryn Ficathon story is coming along pretty well I think.
Thank the Gods! I have just over 130 words left in which to throw on some more angst
and the remaining two requests. I just need to find someone who is not in the ficathon
to read it and see where I have failed to make sense.
I also get to begin the new puppy search this week. Our dog really needs to have a pup of her own. She has never been without a canine companion before . So this is just as much for her as us.

I... see. So it's one of those plays.
Sounds like the audience might have enjoyed the backstage antics more than what was going on stage. What we miss because of a curtain!
Naked people and blood, must have been a very full day. Glad to hear you had fun.
