Finally Friday is here. This week has been an extreamly long week for me. What with one thing or another. Firstly there is the school work. It has reached an astronomical level due to the up coming final exams in May. Teachers insisting we cram in as much early revision as possible. Surprise exams being held in all classes. Course work to be completed to high standards. But hey, thats the price you pay for good qualifications.
On the plus side, I found out yesterday that I have been awarded the role of The Artful Dodger in the schools end of year production of Oliver Twist, for which we start rehearsing for tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait. I love that play and playing Jack Dawkins is a dream come true. Even if it is for just 3 shows. I'm really pleased that Chris got the part of Charlie Bates too. For those not firmiliar with the story, Charlie Bates and Dodger are the bestest of friends. The fact that Chris is my best friend means the chemestry is already there.
I've been practising my cockney accent using the line "My name's Jack Dawkins. Better known to my more intimite acquaintances as The Artful Dodger." This production is of course a play and not the musical version. Last time the school tried doing the same play that was currently playing in the West End, they got their wrist slapped for it. Lesson learned and they stopped doing it. Although, they may be pushing their luck a little with this one. As long as I get to do it thats all I can say.
Tomorrow will be fun though. A few rounds of Archery in the morning Sports lesson and then to the Drama hall. So whilst the week as been long and otherwise boring, it will end well.

ReplyDeleteAs for getting a role in Oliver Twist, congratulations! Ik how much you love that play. This will be good for you, but don't put all of your time into it. You do that enough with everything else. Just remember to have fun and laugh. I'm glad that Christopher gets to play your best friend, two. That's good.
Have fun today, and remember what I just said, have fun. You don't need this much stress, and there are ways of making the stress go away a little.
