    Cambridge...

    Wednesday, 1 October 2008

    Cambridge - after three long, but neccessary weeks in Exeter. I have to say that visiting beautiful cities across the UK like this one, is one of the amazing perks of touring a show. The downside is that the wings in this theatre are absolutely miniscule, leading to countless panicked interchanges between white-faced actors elbowing each other out of the way to make it onstage on time. It's that sort of brilliant theatrical appearance versus reality - the audience (hopefully) see calm, controlled performers - but if they only knew. To give you some idea of the realities of our time so far in the theatre here in Cambridge watch Noises Off again. Excellent fun actually, although I think some punting on the Cam is probably in order now to soothe my ragged nerves. Ah, second show tonight - everyone's looking remarkably calm and collected. Watch this space....(Adam - Troy)
