Wow so the Shakespeare season performance season is now over well at school, next time we perform it will be some time in June or July in Stratford Upon Avon home of Sir William Shakespeare.Its the 8th of May, and I havent payed my phone bill I’m a week late oops might cut me off need to call them don’t know why I have put that here lol.
But yeah we performed to a sold out capacity show on Wednesday 4th May 2011, at the Brit School Obie Theatre to an audience of 150 people…Wow, as an ensemble the performance was incredible like wow never been in a production as good as that, you could feel the energy and everyone giving their best. I was playing two characters, Lord Clifford and Saunder Simpcox, my first character required me to play as if I was disabled, through Rehersals this character was not working at all and last minute I decided to change it completely and although it was a risk it paied off incredibly I had embodied this character and was Saunder Simpcox the reaction was incredible I could feel it the laughs and everyone’s eyes 110% on the scene the chorous and on me, an extremely beautiful feeling coming off stage knowing you had nailed the scene especially after weeks of doing it and not working, like one of my directors said “you just pulled it out the bag”.
The play was going fantastically incredible performances as an ensemble and as individual too, my second character Lord Clifford went well in most peoples eyes, to me it went really bad felt mechanical and fake like I wasn’t out of Simpcox yet to perform lord Clifford and as I delivered each line I felt like each line was being lost and I was trying to make the next one better and kept failing, it was an annoying feeling but the show had to go on. As I keep saying it was an amazing ensemble performances and some fantastic performances from Corey Montague Sholay who used to say he couldn’t act well and was only a BBC writer, boy was He wrong! Strong performance from him and I’m sure he turned alot of heads round lol we have a ben affleck on our cards, another great performance was by Sarah Vaughan she didn’t have a masive part and played 2 characters one a peasant called Bollingbroke and the other a rebel called Hume she was so phenemonal at this it seems so natural and easy to her it’s beautiful to watch good acting and she has that, shes someone on stage who might not be the first person you look at but once you look at her she is someone you will stare and watch for a long time and not forget her.She’s so amazing but does not know it ANNOYING but GOOD at the same time, depends actually but yeah Now Mr Andrew Crouch…Sir Andrew Crouch lol, remember the name and yes I have said it here and I can PROMISE you that this guy will be HUGE he is a breathtaking performer and on Wednesday 4th may he NAILED IT can’t put it in a better way there’s not much more I can say but that unless he says be doesn’t want to do this anymore he will be up there, can put my future earnings on it.
People left the theatre saying it was an amazing experience and amazing performance by an incredibly gifted cast, one with future stars and I can honestly believe this, remember I Said that this year is special, boy am I so confident I am right. Fridays show was surprisingly sold out again the show went better for me with one character but as a whole I still wasn’t happy, cause Simpcox then wasnt as good and Clifford was lol...but as an actor can you or should you ever be happy with a performance? But as a whole the performance felt like everyone was just getting through it, and it was our director Phil Gunderson Last ever directed show at BRIT SCHOOL so it was a special performance. As a said before the performance as on ensemble felt tired but individually one person that stood out for me was Hannah Caton, she had come in some critiscm due to her voice at times being rhythmatic and sounding very musical theatrish and before the show i was asking myself can she really do this? As she looked heartbroken, but boy did she prove the critics wrong, An AMAZING PERFORMACE! and this is another one to watch for future along with Georgia James who I didnt mention in this but she is super amazing, like she is phenomenal like not good but phenomenal and done her character more than justice. The cast had so many good people a Girl called Ije another girl called Chantelle Yeboah, My future housemate Alfie Webster playing someone who is completely the opposite of him, he plays a rebel an Anarchist, and he played this role so well created amazing pictures for the audience to view and it’s so nice to see him show people how good he was, because he worked hard on it, so proud lol!
The list goes on and on it was really a phenomenal cast can’t say it enough. Anyways my I’m getting off the tube now London bridge I am here have a meeting with some potential funders(ideas Tap) ciao bye adios
