Remembrance Day

I've been reminiscing...

A year ago we were busy rehearsing for our 2005 pantomime of Treasure Island. I was lucky enough to play the principal boy, Jim Hawkins, last year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially as I got to sing normally rather than having to put on a character voice and I still HAD a voice left at the end of the two week run.

Parts in shows are like days in your life ....


Most of the parts you play are all right....

One or two are best forgotten and left on the stage at the end of the show run.

But some. ... Some are special. They leave a lasting impression on you. It may be the song that you sing and the memories it evokes. You may have wished that the run of the show would never come to an end or that you could hit the proverbial pause button and freeze that moment in time or even repeat it again.

So: One year on ....
