The Winter's Tale - night 3

I dashed home slightly early from KCUK, meaning I was able to get some tea and relax for a bit before leaving for the Leper Chapel, any tiredness disappearing as soon as soon as I left.

The director's pep talk was aimed at focusing us more on our performance and not taking too much notice of the audiences' reactions. Specifically, don't worry if they're not laughing at the jokes and applauding all the songs. It's not an indication of quality and Saturday's performance was just as good as Sunday's from his perspective.

There was a little tension around after two nights off, but it quickly evaporated once we started - until we reached the Sicilian scenes and we put it back in.

A few lines were skipped somewhere in the middle but it was hardly noticeable - certainly not to the audience, another sell out thanks to the people who turned up on the night.
