January and February have gone by in what seems to be the blink of an eye. I am currently producing the school musical, which is taking place in a professional theatre, and the amount of work involved has been far beyond my initial expectations. Rehearsals every night after school and on Saturday mornings, meetings at the theatre with the technical crew, hundreds of emails to parents, hundreds of emails to colleagues, lots of running around school looking for children and costumes and lost scripts and the finance administrator to please please pay my invoices…it’s been a full time job on top of a full time job, and I am almost ready to collapse. But it will soon be show time - by this time next week, the final curtain will have come down, the fabulous cast of students who have worked their absolute socks off would have had the time of their lives, and me and my amazing director will be able to get a proper night’s sleep for the first time in months. It’s amazing how your dreams get infiltrated with this sort of thing - I’ve had a lot of panicked 3am wake ups, after dreaming that a light has fallen down and hit a child on the head, or the lead is sick and I have to go on and sing her part, or the theatre can’t actually have us after all and we have to do the musical in the street…
Best of luck with your production! And thanks for the suggestions for wonderful museums (and delicious pizza) in Copenhagen. I sent them to my son, who is doing a fellowship at Cambridge and travels as much as he can.
Thank you once again for a stimulating post. You never fail to point me in a new direction and it is always rewarding. I had been vaguely interested in visiting Copenhagen for some time but you have really stirred me into to finding a date to visit. Although I’m still trying to fit in Ham house!
