Today was the second day of rehearsals and for me we started with a bang! At first I got to play a fantastic character…. Called Dracula!!! In The March of the Monsters.!! Wahahahhahaha Being that character I get to chase my fellow actors around on stage and scare them. We even choreographed some fight moves like in the film matrix!! And in the next play Friendship5!! I was an amazing superhero who had electrical powers. I think I had the best power because I could turn on the TV without touching it also I reckon my character should be the leader!!

Hey, hey!! Boy, am I tired!!! Well, after running around being a superhero in ‘Friendship 5’ and being run over by a car in ‘Tragic Accident’, I need a rest so I’m taking the rest of the week off. Just kidding… You guys have done great this year with the plays. All very different, and all very challenging. We’ve worked through the first batch today- all 10 of them.

I think you’ll all be happy with what we’ve done with them. I have, however spent most of the day on the floor as I die in about three of them. The things I do for you guys!

Ok, well I’m off home to learn some lines… well, between Eastenders and Big Brother of course! Cya x

Today's the second day of rehearsals and we are hitting the ground running all the blocking is very precise and moving quite slickly already. There is a real fun atmosphere in the rehearsal room. We worked on A Sailor’s Life For Me where I play The big Fat Mr Greenwood who is trying to sell his slave. Big Booming posh voice, Friendship 5 is a kind of American cartoon superhero comic book style piece..... (to be continued- called to rehearsal)
