Well, what a fantastic opening night in Alnmouth – Nigel says life doesn’t get much better than this!

Started with an early call and bacon butties and arrived at the venue by 9.30am ready to put the set up, do a final dress rehearsal in the afternoon ready to open the show at 7.30pm. The get-in went really well due to having NTC regulars who know how to build rostra stageing and how to rig up the lights.

 

There were a few nerves but it's really nice to open the show to a full house! We sold out and had to squeeze extra audience in -even the journalist doing a review had to stand at the side.

 

The audience LOVED the play, rapturous applause and happy faces and a lot of laughter - which is great. When you've been working on something so long you forget where the funny bits are!

 

The actors did an amazing job on stage - they are all so talanted and very brave to work on a challenging playground for a set. 

 

Exhausted after such excitement and the first night party (a very subdued party), Kylie went to bed and slept in all her clothes!

 

After working non stop for the last 2 weeks - I think I'm off to bed now!

 

We truly are dreaming right now - thank you for the support you have given us and we really do hope you get chance to see the show.
