Two

Well tonight sees the opening night of Two, this has been one of the hardest productions to learn that I have ever been involved in, and one of the most enjoyable.

Victoria Rowcroft who I am starring alongside is superb and has brought such a powerful range of emotions to the table that I have had to up my game to match the intensity of the final scene.

I suppose I should be focusing on the show rather than writing a post, but in all honesty this is really calming my nerves. I suffer with nerves really bad before a show and have had to create a system to which I try and stick to as much as I can in order to get myself on stage.

1 - Arrive at the theatre at least an hour before the show (trad an actors call time for a show is the half (35 minutes before curtain up)

2 - Get into costume as early as possible

3 - Find a quiet place to be and just focus for at east 20 minutes, sometimes listening to a playlist of songs that I have created with which I think the character I am playing would listen to.

Its crazy that I have to do these things, but once the 1st line is out of the mouth, then everything gets sorted and I can enjoy myself! Well I am going now but will post tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
