28 September The show was hideous tonight. I got one little titter on one of my lines, which was one of the biggest laughs of the show, as the audience was made entirely of corpses.
Tell a lie, there were at least two living members of the audience, as there were these two women TALKING (loudly!) throughout the whole damn thing! I wanted to stand up and say "I'm sorry, is my acting disturbing your conversation?"
And then there was the curtain-call. The stupid git running the lights turned them off at the end of the show, the audience started clapping, and then the lights STAYED off for THIRTY SECONDS before coming up so we could bow! The audience were clapping and clapping, and they were EXHAUSTED by the time we got out there! We were standing backstage, muttering "Turn on the lights! Turn on the fucking LIGHTS!!!", and Richard, who designed the lights, finally started to yell "Bring up the lights!" at the top of his lungs, but only had a chance to yell "BRING...", and they came up.
And we got out there, and there was one woman giving a standing ovation. What show was she watching?
