Auditions, auditions

Well, like [personal profile] the_alchemist I've been whoreing my way round the termly auditions circuit. Some good auditions, some merely indifferent - I never really got into the Under Milk Wood piece. But hopefully some parts will come up, I got an "almost certainly" from The Doll's House this morning, and I've been offered a part in Julia C - a strange mix of Julius Caesar and Big Brother apparently.

Oddly all my best auditions, and probable parts were for directors I already knew, Cambridge drama really is cliquey, but at least it looks like I'll be busy this term.

..And very busy all year judging by my PhD review on Friday. At least I was told I will have a phd by next autumn, which is a relief, but it's going to be a long hard slog writing all the papers and chapters for my thesis. Well, everyone enjoyed my talk which is no bad thing.

Back to Pembroke choir this evening - Ayleward responses and Howells Jubilate, I feel a strange sense of musical deja vu.

eek! not that I know of!

at least no-one on here has auditioned for Richard II yet - my best friend's ex is directing it. That would just be weird.

ah, you thesps, you're all so incestuous!

Heh, Mark and I were being incestuous knew each other before we became thesps. Long story.

Incidentally, I am coming down to Cambridge next week for Twelfth Night and will probably be in the vicinity of Nick at several points, so keep an eye open for somebody who looks like this photo (but with longer hair.) I will be watching for anyone with a black sweater and folded arms.
