Laugh! Or the elf gets it...

And so, following on from my previous post, I am no longer a 'stage virgin'. Let's just clarify that -  my 'acting' debut as Stunt Elf in The Stats and Pats Players production 'Santa Gets The Sack' has finally come and gone... and although rather battered (less physically, more in terms of dignity), I have to say I did enjoy the experience*.  But then it was a relatively easy role - no lines to remember, just the ability to fall over, look terrified and/or shell-shocked and grunt in the right places. Which seemed to please the audience, made up of IPO/ONS staff (performance 1), under 10s (performance 2) and pensioners (last performance). In fact the whole production was very well received (and I should hope so, the amount of time we put into it!) and already requests are being made as to what is being put on next year. Let's just say that we have an original idea brewing...

Here are the pics. The ones I dared to put up anyway.

*although I have fallen from grace with the Cardiff Players techies but breaking the rule 'techies don't go on stage'. I'm now labelled as the 'Traitorous Techie'.
