OK, Catholic gig is postponed until tomorrow which is a wee bit annoying as it might interfere with the practice we're having at Kings. OTOH it will be great to get warmed up before the show.

Just come back from the autitions for Robinson Pirates and Jennie and I at least think it went OK. Ran out of time but then I think the description of the ending was better in their heads than it could ever have been acted. We also cunningly split the 10 minute scene into 2 or 3 sub-scenes without an obvious cut so as to make it non-obvious we were treating it like Improwar!

Jennie and I were in a group on our own which we think was better because a) the stage prefers two people on it b) we're all good enough at improv to known that one person != one character and c) we known the rules of improv. While waiting in the waiting room we saw the other groups making classic mistakes, lack of chivalry, NES, blocking and over-planning 'here I will say "you scurvy knave" and then you say "I will thrash you"' and so on.

We'll see tomorrow how it goes...
