The Marie Antoinette interactive theatre event is now fully live on the St James website. Very exciting! It will shortly be appearing in the next St James season brochure that is mailed out to many thousands of people.
Rehearsals are about to begin, and I’ll be giving some direction about how I want the interactivity to work in this evening. Our performers are incredible and enthusiastic and will be up for every challenge. I also need to do a bit of re-writing in response to the first cast read-through we had; I was very pleased that the script came out looking very good at the end of that, with several people specifically complimenting me on it. Believe it or not but I think working on the 48 and collaborating with an artist on a comic have both helped a great deal, forcing me to get better at cramming more content into fewer words and trusting in the performance/artwork to do a lot of communicating.
Ticket sales are open to the public – a key St James staffer was sick for a couple of weeks when they should have been hitting up corporate clients, so they’ve just thrown the doors open instead. If you’re interested, details at the webpage. (Yeah, it’s on the spendy side but it’s not that ridiculous for dinner, drinks and a show combined.) If we sell out I might even make some pocket money…
