I have just watched an interview with an actress who was saying that she has just been working in Broadway and at the end of the performance lots of members of the audience got their phones out and started taking photographs. She...

We Are Back

My son (Midi) and I have had a lot of fun over the past few days. We travelled by train up to Liverpool on Sunday. We checked in to The Liner Hotel before meeting up with Midi's friend for lunch. We then had a walk through Everton...

A happy accident

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 2 Nov

Yesterday I was helping out at a community event all morning. Then in the afternoon my partner and I had booked a theatre trip to see a performance by a local amateur dramatics group. It was a bit of a busy day but the matinee...

21 Hearts - a totally local theatre production

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Jun

On Friday morning, we attended a play called 21 Hearts, the story of an Australian nurse, Vivian Bullwinkel, who was the sole survivor of 22 nurses who were marched into the sea and machine-gunned from behind. She spent the rest...

Hello, how has your weekend been? I'm quite tired. I should be getting on with some writing but I only got out of bed about an hour ago (it's almost midday here). I was out yesterday. My sister wanted a girl day with me and her...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 15 Jan 25

As I’ve mentioned a few times, I’m helping with the crew making props and scenery for the local pantomime, coming up in a couple of weeks. Preparations have been going on for months already. But now things keep going awry and the...

Movies in the good old days

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Dec 24

I wrote about having the chance to attend a film festival and it took me back to when we used to go to the movies as a child. It was held in a theatre. There might have been some ads first. I can’t remember that bit but then the...

Hello. How are you all? I'm groovy. I've had a varied week. Last weekend, my husband and I went to a pub quiz. I was going to the pub to book a Chrismtas meal. As it's a 30 minute walk away, I didn't want to go just to come back...

Times have changed in the theatre too

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Apr 24

We travelled to a nearby city yesterday and attended a play last night in their state-of-the-art theatre. They called it a ‘spectacular fusion of theatre and cinema’ which was a pretty true statement. The setting was the World...

Small person’s adaptations

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 30 Jan 24

Many pieces of equipment and machinery I find are designed for people taller and generally bigger than me. Even something as simple as a CD case is hard to open because they’re designed for people with bigger hands! So it wasn’t...

My next theatrical experience

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 29 Jan 24

By the time opening night rolled around, the scenery was finished, the props were made, and there was nothing much left to do. Of course a backstage crew was still needed to open and close the curtains and change the scenery but...

I’m more of a backstage person

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 28 Jan 24

So I mentioned a while ago that I’m involved with the local amateur dramatics society. The girls and I all joined three years ago and we were all in the chorus. I’m obviously just not a natural performer. I don’t generally seek...

It’s always worth asking!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 23 Nov 23

This year I decided not to be part of the chorus for the pantomime, but to help out backstage instead, making scenery and props. They needed more help as a couple of people who have been coming along for years have suddenly...

The best value theatre programme!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 5 Sep 23

Earlier this year we all went to see a theatre production of Jules Verne’s ‘Around the World in 80 Days’. It was a sort of circus-type of performance which was quite fun, although they did rather overdo the ‘virtue signalling’...
