So, I'm in a play.
I know I haven't updated at all since the new year and that I still have a couple of excellent fruit stories untold, but those shall have to wait. I am in a play.
It's a bit part. I mean, I'm on stage for a long time, but I only say one line. I'm not sure it's a particularly important line, but it's a line nonetheless. Most of the time I'm sitting in the in audience of the courtroom and try not to draw much attention to myself (oh, the play is To Kill a Mockingbird). Actually, I have two parts. One part is just a guy in a crowd (actually, "mob" would be more accurate). I'll have to do a superfast costume change and then I'm someone else.
When I finally get to say my one line I have to use a southern accent. I'm pretty good with British accents, but not so good with southern ones. I want to sound like Rhett Butler, but I'm afraid I'll end up sounding like Blanche from "The Golden Girls".
