"you brought Magic to Marsden" Christophe in the audience
or "We are such stuff as dreams are made on" Caliban in The Tempest
We performed the only (so far) night of Sleeping Beauty to a full house on Saturday.
Verging towards to pantomime but played rooted in Shakespeare (so I was told anyway and with reference to my Caliban like dragon-man .. which was gratifying I must say).. It enthralled the youth and parents of t'village.
Some people like mountain climbing, some roller coasters or public speaking.. Me, I totally totally love that moment when you feel (never see) 150 pairs of eyes on you and they react from the heart or gut to a small facial gesture or a projected line .. Magic.
It went well, everyone including the 4 young folk from the youth group stayed in character, lines remembered for the whole play and we really did have tears and laughs a-plenty. It doesn't get better for audience reaction.
