I thought I'd share a few photos of the family members I'll be playing tonight, the 'stars of the show' as per usual!
Star No. 1 Nana. The big dresser upper..here she is as Madonna..
And Boy George!
Star No. 2 Mum. In the Mikado
Mum and Dad on their way to be audience members of The Good Old Days TV show..
Star No. 3 Dad. Being daft with friend Diane..
Here he is behind his bar which is mentioned in the show..
Sitting in the bath just now, where we get all our best ideas, I thought of doing this post. League of Gentlemen also came to mind. This is an English TV show that Pam and I watched together one summer at her Inn in Newport. We bloody loved it for its similarity, be it a rather dark, twisted version to our family and to people from the north of England. The clip below reminds me of all the times I went to audition for commercials in the UK. Zany, Giddy Kipper humour..and she's called Pamela!
i'm too late to say "break a leg" -- but I have a feeling you rocked the crowd! what a family (drama queen) heritage; and the video is priceless!
ReplyDeleteblowing theatrical air kisses in your direction...
thanks so much Susan for this. It went really well. What a relief. Nana went down a storm. I felt so ill before with after nine months of no period a visit from menses hell. I was so whacked out. But as they say Doctor Theatre darling... xo
