Amelia here! We’ve just finished our first action-packed week here in the US and are really excited to be performing to the good people at St John Fisher College, Rochester, tomorrow night at 7pm. So far we’ve been lucky enough to spend two days in NYC, where we visited the sites and hit the shops, and then a day at Brown University, where we performed our first workshop – thanks to Shakespeare on the Green for their wonderful hosting (and great party on the final night – we finally got to drink out of red cups!). 

 

Our first performances were at Hagerstown Community College, in Maryland. These went super well, and we really enjoyed our time there, with our wonderful accommodation, food and welcome from Heather Barnhart and the two venue techs, Josh and Ben. Thanks to all the audience who came out to see us – we really appreciate all your kind comments and best wishes.

 

See you tomorrow at Rochester!

After a pretty hectic few days at the ADC, the cast trapsed to The Forum, Jesus College this morning and had a great run of the play despite a painfully early start in what is essentially, a freezing cold mental institute. Still, in keeping with the bleak quality of Macbeth I suppose?!

Everyone is pumped for the previews and excited to fly out to the U.S of A this Sunday (providing we get through airport security smoothly – should be interesting).

Our first stop? NYC baby!

Over and for now…a power nap beckons before the tech.

Watch this space for more poorly written, trivial updates due to sleep deprivation!
