Full Description
Rehearsals start at an old warehouse in Zaargmolendrift down by the canal, we meet every morning at 10.30am no one is ever late ever! even the mosquitos! We finish at 6pm, every day apart from Saturday & Sunday, which we have off. Seven of us live in a place that used to be an office, we take it in turns to cook each evening. Five actors live in another place not too far from Central station. When we move in we have no furniture so all our furniture comes from the Theatre's storage, relics from old productions. I write a postcard to my Mum letting her know all is fine.
I cut my teeth on Dracula the first of the 2 horror shows and my first stab at acting. I learned lots, I learned I could not sing & I could not remember lines. Lucy the vampire was not particularly impressive. If it wasn't for a few kind words from the Mickery photographer Maria Austria, my fate with the Pip Simmons Theatre Group may well have ended here. Rod Beddall on the other hand was a perfect candidate for Dracula, 6ft 2in a shaved head, he could sing, play guitar piano tin whistle and the fool. Rod was also prepared to wear fishnet stockings & a leather jock strap bought from a sex shop, he was a true transylvanian brummie Dracula
