A very merry wife

[gilana]

I am very excited (and a wee bit nervous) to announce that I will be playing the role of Mistress Page in T@F's Merry Wives of Windsor, by William Shakespeare. (She's one of the merry wives.) It's a good meaty part, and my first major role in a comedy, or for that matter in any full-length play, not to mention the first time I've ever done Shakespeare. I was perfectly ready to play a fairy, so this is a very nice surprise. And hey, I'm playing a girl twice in a row! It's a new record!

Should be a lot of fun, I think we're going to have a really good group. I'm just sorry not everyone could be in it -- I know I saw some amazing auditions the two nights I went and I seriously do not envy lillibet the decisions she had to make. I can't wait to finally read the play now...

Performances are Nov 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19. Mark your calendars now!

Any more corsets involved?

I'm hoping I'll get to wear my SCA garb as a costume, which means a corset every night. Does that mean you'll come to more performances? :)

Of course, but I'll probably have to keep leaving early...

*So* happy for you!! And hey, I have lots of experience playing fairies, so I'm all good. :-D

[gilana]

Honestly, I'm totally psyched about the role, but there is a little bit of me that is sorry not to get to play with the fairies. I think you guys are going to have a great time and have all sorts of fairy in-jokes and stuff.

Have an easy flight and an amazing time in Israel! Can't wait to hear about your experiences.
