I am Wolverine Boldwood

Wednesday, 17 September 2008

Well we have to play catch-up on these blogs as we were all too tired, busy and unsettled during Tech and Previews to be able to even think about what to write.

For me, arriving in Exeter, for some reason brought with it a facial hair epiphany! It must be said that Kate (Director) had been trying to convince me throughout rehearsals that Boldwood should have mutton chops (partly because there were more than enough beards in the cast already), but I had been sticking to my guns. Whether it was insecurity or a change of air, no sooner had we begun the Tech than I felt a strong urge to shave my chin. And my top lip. The chops were an instant success and as a result my nickname in the cast, and some of the crew, is now Wolverine!
