Production: In Touch
Show Week 1
by Rachel Middle (Alice)
So we've had our first preview! We performed in front if a reasonably sized audience on the 5th, and thus, the world premiere of "in touch" has taken place. They seemed to enjoy the funny bits, like the "poke" song, and the opening, but we also heard good feedback about the more serious storyline between Eamonn and Mairin as well. Jamie and Paul were very pleased because they said before that they find it difficult being the serious characters among so many comedic ones. As it turns out, one of Paul's scenes at the end was very funny and we struggled not to laugh on stage, another of those moments is where Tony (played by Byron) says the word "poles". You wouldn't believe that could be hilarious, but my god it is!
The venue itself is small, but perfect for what we want to do, it's just big enough to fit in our dances which were choreographed by Andrew Panton. A lot of the dances are really just sequences of avatar-like movements, but when we do them altogether I imagine they must look pretty impressive. What a shame it is that we will never be able to watch ourselves!
A week ago, when Candice realised that we were opening in a week, she burst into helpless laughter for about 10 minutes, but I think we have managed to pull it off. How about you all come along and see for yourselves!? Pleasance Dome 12.10pm
