I had some malfunctions, wardrobe and otherwise, during the run.
A somewhat teal-coloured stain turned up one night on my trouser knee. I tried to scrub it off and then had to dry it standing in front of my only fan.
My old war wound from a year ago (sore toe)* started acting up again. My "twin" "Salerio" (Paul Ruebsam) also injured his toe for the last performance.
But all's well that ends well.

The House Concert didn't really turn out as we had planned. Instead it was more or less our song and non-song writers group.
Timlap read some of his recent writing and had me sing "We're Not Going to Take It" partway through one of them. I sang my new song (twice) "What Do You Think of Me, Jesus". Erica and Black Mamba each sang some of their songs.
After Shroom left (but not because he did), we lit a candle, turned out the lights and sang "Dona Nobis Pacem" and "Jesus, Remember Me".

Re. "All's well...."
ReplyDeleteWe were glad to that our play did not result in love's labours lost or turn out to be much ado about nothing or a comedy of errors.
Such an original joke, I'll wager.
