I had my audition on Monday (May 15). I had come down with a cold so I croaked through with no voice (it’s still not back a week later). I hope it showed them that I would show up with a big smile and a great attitude no matter what. We started out playing some games to learn everyone’s names. There were some people from Scotland, Ireland, Sicily, and Russia. I wasn’t the oldest! We broke up into groups and improvised short Shakespeare plays (my group did MacBeth). I rocked my monologue (like last time, some of the girls came up to me afterward to ask where it was from). I read a scene from Midsummer Night’s dream and played a gangster in a play about harassment. I feel 70% satisfied. If I don’t get it this year, I will try again next year. They will cast starting on Monday May 22, so I should hear either way that week.
The rest of the week I lounged until Rose got off of work, then we mooched around London. I met up with Big Ben from THeatrino at a bar where he sometimes works. There was a cat who seemed to own the place.
I met Rose at St. Paul’s Cathedral
