Hello!
Charlie here, sat in rehearsals for Little Matter. I’m a bit of an imposter here at River HQ. I’m a student really, but the lovely River People have let me come and play with them for a couple of weeks. I’ve been doing a bit of everything while I’ve been here, from making spreadsheets to levitating tables. But the most fantastic thing by far has been watching the play come to life.
My time here began, quite conveniently, on the first day of rehearsals. We sat round with tea and cake aplenty to read and discuss the new script. Since then the play has been coming together remarkably quickly. It really shows how well these guys work together and have a really clear shared vision for their work.
I’ve also been lucky enough to tag along with Claire to rehearsals at the youth theatre at the Theatre Royal Winchester, and to get involved with Dr Strangelove’s Burlesque Discotheque at the Railway Inn. I think Dr Strangelove was one of the most bizarre pieces of theatre I have ever been involved with, and an immense amount of fun!
What a busy life the River People lead!
As I write this the cast are having a go at running what they’ve done so far and its looking beautiful. I shall definitely be popping back down to see the finished thing, perhaps I’ll see you there.
Love,
Charlie
