You Meet Some Strange People!!

Last weekend I attended a Murder Mystery Dinner. OK it was just 3 couples who are all good friends but we had a great time. We all joined in and dressed as our characters.

The strange people, well these are the guys. There was Won Ton Willy, (John White) Some Australian guy who's name I can't remember (Stuart Abraham) and the Rev. A. Spooner (that's me - on the right).

We have never been able to quite work out how it all works but as it was set in Shanghai in the 30's and as it was nearly Chinese New Year we had a Chinese meal cooked by the our hosts for the evening (John and Janice White) and went through the booklets.

It turns out, I was the murderer. This is the second of these that we have taken part in and in the other one, it was my wife who was the killer. Do you think they are trying to tell us something!!

The next one will be set on a cruise. Careful "man overboard!!"

Back to Normal

Ho Hum. That's the dog back to it's owner, the Christmas decorations down and back to work after the holidays. In other words, back to normal. I need the rest, over the holidays we were either visiting or being visited so this year has been a bit hectic, to say the least. I'm not complaining (well my waistband is) but is is nice to get back to the quieter life.

Having said that I start the rehearsals for the next show I am involved with (Oliver - end of April - Johnstone Town Hall, come along one and all!!) tonight, with the auditions next Sunday. I am going for the part of Mr.Bumble, the Beadle. I am even growing long sideburns (which my wife hates). I hope to get the part. I will keep you posted.

Treading the Boards... Again

Well I am back into the Am Dram scene again. I have joined a local Amateur Dramatics club in Johnstone. Their next production is a pantomime called King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I'm just in the chorus. It is a rule of the club that the first production you are in you are in the chorus.

The next production is Oliver, so with a bit of luck I will get a principle part in that one.

The panto is running from November 30th till December 6th in Johnstone Town Hall. If you are in the area, come along. Not that I expect many of you reading this to be able to come aong but the invitation is there never the less!!

The last time I was in a show must have been 7-8 years ago. I was in Fiddler on the Roof and played Lazer Wolf, the Butcher. It was great fun.
