Hi Diddly Dee, an Actor's Life for Me
"Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness."

Oh, today has been brilliant! Well, apart from the 2nd parking ticket in as many days, but that'll teach me to park illegally in Camden for more than 30 seconds. The traffic wardens round here are evil! Anyway, had an audition this afternoon, which was hysterical. I was called upon to act out a couple of scenes, one of which involved me being grabbed in a headlock (don't ask..) I was then called upon to struggle out of said headlock, which I did. The first time we ran it, all went according to plan: I struggled free, said my next line and off we went. However, the 2nd time was slightly different. I was headlocked, started to struggle, managed to get free but then rather spoilt the effect (or heightened, depending on where you were standing...) by tripping over a chair and falling, in quite spectacular fashion, flat on my face. However, I was wearing a short skirt and I think the 4 guys standing behind me saw rather more than they had maybe bargained for, judging by their uncontrollable laughter... ! I ripped a big hole in my tights (the lovely climate control ones from M&S as well - grr) and gashed my knee - not that I realised this until the director went a bit pale and thrust a wet cloth in my direction... Well, I think I made an impression, anyway! Will let you all know whether it was a good one or not tomorrow... Then of course it was first night for the opera. I'm so pleased with the way it went - nothing disastrous happened and the audience loved it, from what I could hear as they left the auditorium at the end. Also, the gorgeous bf arranged for a big bunch of flowers to be delivered to the theatre, along with a soppy message - aww! That was quite funny, actually... When I got to the theatre the flowers were already there in a vase and I kept walking past them thinking what a lovely arrangement it was. It wasn't until one of the cast came up to me half way through the show and said 'ooh, lovely flowers, Katja' that I realised they were for me! Just as well my cast members are nosy and look at the names on cards, otherwise I think I might have been in trouble with the bf...

(8.11.04 15:10) Unfortunately I didn't get the job, but they've kept me on file for future shows, so it's still a positive result - hurrah! In other news, the lovely BF is now officially an architect, having passed his part 3 last week - so life is very smiley at the moment  ))
