What Country Friends is This?

The last post

September 12, 2012

Well, I guess this will be my last - and valedictory - blog entry.

Our shows close on October 7th at the end of what was, in so many ways, a marvellous season: three parts that - for different reasons - I found both testing and enjoyable, a great company that were a real pleasure to work with, full houses, great reviews.

Hard work and hard partying. There have been two babies born and three engagements announced; some of us are already making plans to fly off to Haifa in November to see Amer get matched to his beautiful Saheer. Remarkably, nobody has been 'off' through injury or illness - which is especially impressive in the light of our quite punishing schedule.

We are blessed here with superlative stage management and the spirited competence of well-oiled teams in every department.

This has been a great job in a great place to work.

Sadly I didn't get cast in the next RST season so I must fold my tent and creep quietly away, my mind packed with memories.

This journal has been a pleasure to produce and now forms part of my book, On Bard Duty, which is about to be published.

I've never been sure how many people actually read the blogs but, to those who have been following our shipwreck story here, I wish continuing and lasting pleasure in all the ways that the RSC can reach you and touch you.

A fond farewell to Bardsville and the blogosphere.

Thank you and farewell. Indeed we have enjoyed reading your and Ankurs blog enormously; some how they have enhanced the whole experience of attending the Shipwreck productions and highlighted the hard work, fun and utter specialness that is the RSC. It has been a wonderful season and wish I had the confidence/ability to whistle after each production but I fear my children would disown me.
We wish you well and look forward to your return.
