Well, last night I went to see the play and to be honest, it was nothing short of abso-fucking-lutely amazing.
OK, starting with Our Day Out.
Stride and Goody were wicked as the kind Mrs Kay and the bossy Mr Briggs (hey, I'm alliterating here, people!) Accents and all, these people are great. Special mention must go to Becky Scanlon who I must say made me jump when she almost fell off the “cliff” – and don’t say I was getting too into it, someone else did too …. probably.
Anyway, highlights being Ward’s sudden desire to strip and go swimming and his interesting fall into the sea. That was quite amusing. I must say the accents were pretty interesting yet we weren’t sure of Colin’s accent so we called it “Scoirishudlian”. Seeing Gopsill trying to look uncomfortable was history in the making as iv never seen him anything but confident. Dave, our dear Dave was a regular little Ronson, and we were all shocked as Dave is usually seen as... well... perfect and .... not interested in animals like that lol.
Then came the interval and Stophig reprimanded me for hinting that we go and pick up the sweets that were lying in front of us on the floor.
Now, Educating Rita..
One word – breathtaking. It completely blew me away. Kinky’s skill in the way she walked, the way she talked, the way she … well... acted, words can not describe. Foster was simply brilliant as the bitter Frank, the failed poet and his drunk scene was hilarious. Hmm, note to self, must try and get Foster drunk for real to see what he’s really like when he’s pissed , I wonder if he would be “off his cake”? Hehe, memorable lines from Educating Rita – “Look at those tits!” and “Its not like I'm going to rape you in the middle of the seagull!”
Isn’t it so neck-throttling-frustrating that Kinky still manages to look acceptable in a bright jumper and black 3/4 leggings? And was it only me laughing at the irony of Foster having to make that crack about Fosters and E.M Forster? Yes, most probably…
Anyway, all in all, it was a great night and I felt incredibly untalented and amateurish when talking to the budding actors and actresses afterwards.
Anyway, despite the many highlights, one of the best bits I have to say was Gopsill stating proudly “I'm not like you ugly gets… I'm *pause*… HANDSOME!”
Congrats once again to the amazing cast members and I'm sure I'm speaking on behalf of us all when I say, thank you for such an entertaining evening. I now have a sudden desire to take up Drama...
