If you go down to the cemetery today...

Had a little visit to a cemetry in Nottingham today to get some atmospheric pictures as documentation of my costume for my one man show of A Christmas Carol. I was attempting to pose Victorian style amongst the gravestones (like you do) and had my camera setting on the self timer setting. I posed with a few gravestones and was crossing the main path when I saw a young woman coming in my direction. She looked friendly and had a Nikon camera with her so I asked her if she would be kind enough to take some pictures of me in my costume. Her name was Jenna and did a great job. Thanks Jenna!  She was in the graveyard to take some pictures of her own of graves of soldiers killed in the First World War. I hope that you remember my site name and enjoy seeing your work. :)





After this I went into the city and had some lunch at the Broadway cinema and hung around the backstreets of the Lace Market area and took some more photos before I went home.

Christmas thoughts of performing in Germany

"Christmas already!?" you cry! Well sort of. I am currently getting very excited about my plans to perform my one man show of Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' in the German city of Karlsruhe this coming December.

The Jakobus theatre have accepted my proposal to perform there for two nights and I have booked my flight. No turning back now. Cripes!

The show is a rehearsed reading that I have performed three times before and lasts about one hour and forty-five minutes and this time I am planning to introduce little bits of German into the text. Being in Germany will be great fun and very atmospheric with a proper authentic German market I imagine. And lots of scrummy German food and wine/beer to sample. Prima!


The image to the below is from a previous performance at the Lace Market Theatre.



I have a fair few friends over there who I know through the twinning events that the Lace Market Theatre does with two amateur theatres in Karlsruhe so it will be good to see them again. Today I designed my poster which will soon be on the Jakobus theatre website.
