Thursday 7th August 2008
Good start to the day today, because, having been informed by the VERY nice train conductor yesterday that the cheapest way to travel to Edinburgh was by group saver, today we got four tickets for the price of two saving us twenty quid! Wish we’d kent that last week! On the train, me and Trish do hair and makeup (there ain’t no time at the venue to do this as visitation rights to the dressing area are restricted.) So there we are, me moussing the front of my hair for the curlers that create the right Georgian look for the lacy cap, and Trish, making herself up with all the expertise of the touring thesp. Today there was a man sitting diagonally opposite us. He sat with his laptop and looked very serious and intent on doing his work! However I could tell he was earywigging our conversation, as a faint smile lingered on his lips. Never one to miss an opportunity, I got out a flyer, and went over to him and said, ‘Come to our show, the only Burns play on at the Fringe.’‘Oh, ‘ said he, ‘ I was wondering what kind of show it was.’ At which point he glanced up at my head, which was now enwrapped, turban like, in a scarf to hide the hair( though no curlers today because muggins here forgot them- and all my make-up) so that I wouldn’t make quite such a fool of myself traipsing up Shandwick place. Instead I just make a poultice of myself on the train!
Again the audience were very appreciative. The press were in today, from the British Theatre Guide. I felt a bit disgruntled at the end, I felt less than one hundred percent happy with my performance. However , some days can be like that. It might have had something to do with the red-snapper and the vino last night. Mmm…early to bed tonight methinks!
