Default Oooh the real me - well sort of!

This will "blow my cover" and let you all see what I look like ........ but I would just love to share with you a couple of the professional photographs of our play Caught in the Net performed a couple of weeks ago. We are all so dead chuffed with them. (We are still riding high on the applause and wonderful comments).

I'm the nutter in the blue cut off shorts, ripped T-shirt and brandishing a kitchen knife ...... and no I couldn't possibly explain the script!

Thank you for letting me indulge myself

Jennie,
I had a mental picture in my mind of you, and I am in no way disappointed now after that... You are every inch of the mad woman that I had imagined moderating this forum and answering my spurious threads - "Keep it up woman!"....

They're fab Jennie. Not sure I'd have been as brave as the lady in the towel on stage!

Yes PW, I was wondering if that was a well practiced brandishing of a knive there, lol!! (Sorry Jennie )

Well I watched the slide show - complete with Pachelbel's Canon in the background - lovely. One of the lads - top left in the bigger group shot - has a look of our own beautiful Ben! No need for a script after watching that lot - it can only be a disappointment compared to what was going on in my head! Looks like you were all enjoying it immensely - well done lass.

PS - great tan!

PPS - I think it was shot 134 that gave me the biggest laugh - and would probably give the blokes the biggest wince!

Great pics! You look very glamorous, even in cut offs and tatty t-shirt!

Jennie - thanks for sharing, it looks like a whole load of fun! And well done on such a great reception as well.

And I 'think' you look as I imagined, but maybe sans knife!!

Thanks for the pics Jennie. The tan worked well. The play looked like a big success to me. Glad you all had such a good time.

If we ever manage a grapes get-together, someone had better put a cork on Jennie's knife!

I watched the slideshow with the music as well, very hypnotic & I think the play looked as though it would have gone better with something manic like the theme from Benny Hill when he used to start a chase off! The tan worked - you had the best one, your legs look lovely. Bet you're glad you didn't have to wear just a towel & what exactly were you aiming for brandishing that knife at the poor bloke in nothing but his socks & towel?

Thanks All - yes it was great fun, but VERY hard work! The line to pic 134 was i'm going to cut you b**** off!) , having already kicked two doors in (gave backstage wincing problems every night) and generally given the poor bloke in the towel (the lodger) a bad time!

We are already reading for the next production in April. Sadly no on stage for me next year, I'm producing and directing both another comedy in April and then the big panto in December next year.

You sure this was a play you were in, or is it CCTV on crimewatch..?

Wow Jennie! Your photos are super! It looks a very professional play - and no, I won't ask the plot - but you looked very convincing! Congratulations on your success! Bernie

HOW did he keep that towel in place? It never works when I try it! Thanks for sharing, that looked brilliant. The cannon is one of our fav duets (OH and me)on piano. Well done.

The towel terrier! Yes it caused a few problems and absolute hilarity during rehearsals, but after trying about 10 different sized towels, velcro, bits of material he settled on a belt and a humungous towel. I just prayed he had something on underneath!

Thanks for all your lovely comments and what a brave lot some of you are going for the slideshow!
