its a whole new world...

hooooooray! the old hotel is done and dusted. Part 3 is officially the final chapter.

I have to start a new diary now as I hadn't planned anything beyond 5th September, except my little trip to Seville next weekend (whoopee!).

Am so relieved and pleased. We had a little technical hitch, which meant the on-site audience didnt see as much of the webcam as i would have liked, but apart from that it was great. Carolyn did a wonderful job as Fee on site - "concentrated and totally believable" was one of the many positive comments on her performance. Suzon, James and Liz ran the on-line performance very smoothly - with top marks to Liz for some especially beautiful drawing. Mark - who helped me direct the on-site bit was an absolute dream from start to finish, keeping me calm and helping carolyn to really push her performance to a level i couldn't have managed on my own.

On-line, we broke the record for Upstage, with 35 audience members. They were logging in from dubai, USA, spain, australia, new zealand, england, poland, the netherlands and belgium!

On-site we had a lovely time, we were at capacity with 20 people and the wine was flowing, thanks to our accomplished compere Gareth.

thanks to all who took part, audience, performers, and every other kind of support. I pulled in so many favours for this show - I hope you all know how grateful I am - Suzon, James, Liz, Carolyn, Gareth, Lizzie, Jack, Witek, Steve, Philly, David and Jane, Mark W, Mark S, my Dad, Helen, Vicky, Karla, Doug, Vedran, Beni and Selwyn.
