The Morning After the Morning After

Our run in the Black Box has finished and we are now knee deep in receipts and cheque stubs. The day of the preview felt close to those dreams where you're onstage naked and the lines are missing in action. But it came together and although the audiences were what felt like 30 feet away from us, from the preview onwards, the warmth and interest coming from them was palpable. Many, many thanks to all the people who helped out backstage; the Waterdonkey Theatre Company folks, Pat n Podge, Paul Houlihan, and Shane McDermott.

A great review in the Irish Examiner is helping us through these anti-climactic, account-laden days.

"a masterful, uncluttered reprise of a sorely underrated work...with a spare but magical set and an inspired cast, this is spirited, breathtaking theatre" 5 STARS - The Irish Examiner

The Morning After Optimism: Rehearsals

T minus 9 days (give or take). For the last 2 weeks we have been rehearsing in the upstairs room in the Arts Centre on Dominic Street: Duncan regularly runs out of scramble space as Bernard comes at him with his foil. There's a lot of pretend walking through trees and imagining of log cabin, window, bed and glasses of gin. Ah, rehearsals...Even though the vast cavern of the Black Box is a scary thought, we will relish the space when we get in.
