We had an excellent committee meeting last night at which I unveiled my plans for this year's Farndale Christmas Spectacular - South Pacific on Ice! I've already chatted to the council about making use of that plastic rink they set up in Montpellier Gardens last year (why we couldn't have proper ice, I don't know; this is Regency Cheltenham after all). All the ice skating work will stand us in good stead should Andrew - sorry, I forget you aren't on first name terms like I am - Lord Lloyd Webber agree to let me have Starlight Express next summer.
A reminder to my fellow actors and Thelma that there is a rehearsal for Murder at Checkmate Manor this evening and this coming Sunday afternoon. I know no one really likes giving up their Sundays but needs must with Sylvia away looking after her mother next week.
One additional piece of good news is that our President, Dame Viv, has kindly agreed to prompt for us. As you know, Dame Viv has always been a great believer in not having a prompt and expecting actors to know their lines properly and, if not, get themselves out of trouble. However, this being such a wordy play, I do think this safety blanket is wise and it will be lovely to have Dame Viv at rehearsals, especially as we don't see as much of her these days now she spends five months of the year with her sister in Bridlington.
