Thriller

The scripts have arrived and we have been able to have our first full cast read through. Characters are already emerging and we’re all thinking about how we will develop them as rehearsals progress. Despite what it says on the cover, I’m not totally convinced by the description “thriller”. Maybe that’s going to come out more with lighting, sound and special effects. Our director is on holiday for a fortnight now, so no on-stage rehearsals until August. But I see no reason why we in the cast can’t get together before then for another read through or to start thinking about the blocking.
Making the most of the continuing warm weather to get out on the bike. Went to see Stu for a coffee this morning and was very glad I wasn’t in the car, because there were horrendous tailbacks around Haverthwaite due to some temporary traffic lights. At least on the bike I could trundle down the outside of the queue, thus not wasting half an hour of my life stuck in a traffic jam.
In fact, I think I may have covered more miles on the bike today, than in the whole of the rest of the year to date!
However, I will be back in the car tomorrow because it needs to go in for its MOT. I really hope those traffic lights will be gone by then.
