Week 8, Part 1

So it all comes down to this – production week. We had our get-in on Tuesday. To be honest, I was nervous. The lighting designer lives in Canada so we had to work from plans and hope to get it exactly right. Luckily, we had some very talented people on hand to get stuck in. There were a few problems, mainly due to varying interpretations of handwriting, but thankfully all of them could be worked around without too much hassle. Tech done. So with limited time left on Tuesday evening, we did the best we could to have a run-through. But we ran out of time. I went home feeling more than a little uneasy.

Wednesday. The plan was to have a full dress rehearsal at 2pm. 2.30pm at the very latest. Naturally, we started at 3.40pm. Thankfully, the staff at axis were most accommodating and we were able to over-run our slot and complete the rehearsal. And it wasn’t half bad. The cast are solid, the tech is good. All we can do now is wait. We’re up tomorrow. I am confident that we have a great show to deliver. But it will be a long, nerve-wrecking wait until lights up.

Tickets available from axis (www.axis-ballymun.ie or 8832100) for Love in the Time of Social Networking, running from Thursday 10^th – Saturday 12^th February 2011 at 8pm nightly. I hope you will join us one of the nights.
