Panto and Publications

The last couple of days have been hectic – which appears to par for the course for me. Sometimes I wish for a quiet life, but I know that I would go mad if that were ever to happen!

Last night we held the preview night of our pantomime, Cinderella. Over 100 OAPs attended and turned out to be a wild, engaging and appreciative audience. They understood the minimal set, loved the characterisation and went mad for the dames!

All in all, it was a great night – we’ve just got the four real performances to get through and obviously I will keep you updated.

But I also managed to publish Error of Comedies: Occupations. So that’s book number 5 available at the storefront.

If you’ve been worried about staging a JaysPlay before (what with me being a relative unknown), this could well be the play that will give you the confidence to stage something then stage another. As this play is a collection of ten interconnected comic shorts, you could stage just one or two shorts to a small audience and then see the reaction my writing gets.

To prove the point, I had a number of the audience who attended the panto preview last night that remembered me for staging Prime Directive and Mark of a Gentleman at our theatre. The repeated question was ‘when are you putting another of your plays on here again? They were so funny!’

More on the panto tomorrow
