Grenades and Grants
We are in blood stepped in so far that should we wade no more, returning were as tedious as go oe'er.
Ah no, it's not that bad. But we are in the thick of rehearsals now. If we were a Fianna Fail poster (before the bust) we'd say 'A lot done, more to do.' But, as we are a theatre company and trained in the dangers of hubris, when we are asked 'How are rehearsals going?' we just answer 'Ah yeah grand yeah - great yeah grand.'
Checklist:
Thirty-two pages of script - twenty-five of them learned
Four eight-foot-high by four-foot-long flats and accompanying supports - constructed (yes, by our own fair hands) but still to be decorated
Lights and sound - in Mike's capable hands
Posters - posted
Flyers - flying
Radio and paper interviews - coming soon!
Tour dates - Nenagh on the 9th December (Anyone else out there in venue-land fancy replying to us? ...anyone?)
Maaaany rivers to cross, as the man sang.
Galway City Council have (or so the article in the Galway Advertiser leads us to believe) given us €3,000. We are planning how to spend it. It won't be hard. A lovely fillip, a little whoosh. Deeper into the river...
