I played New York actress, Arlene Francis in the Orson Welles' radio play of "A Christmas Carol" at the end of December. It was great fun and I enjoyed working with the cast and director.
My short film, GIRLS, has been officially invited to screen at the cool film festival Courts des iles in Tahiti, French Polynesia, this November. I am so so happy about this! I never had enough money to send it anywhere properly when I had completed it during 1st year at RADA and I always felt all the hard work we had all put into it was never really seen. And then I get this beautiful email! Delighted!
I am setting up Cake-Run. It is a community-based charity project centred around baking cakes for your neighbours. I have applied for a grant from the Arthur Guinness Project Award. To know more about Cake-Run, visit the website here. And to VOTE for Cake-Run to win the Arthur Guinness Grant please follow this link here. Please keep in mind that you have to log onto Facebook or Twitter to vote- it tells you if you follow the link anyway. THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!! I did Stephen Jeffreys Scriptwriting Masterclass at RADA from March - May this year. It was wonderful and his expertise were hugely helpful. Stephen has written many masterpieces including the play and film, "The Libertine" and the new film coming out this September about Princess Diana.
CurlinessI am a girl with a curl
In the middle of my forehead When I am good I am very very good But when I am bad I am horrid: I have no grace I don’t cheer & grin I have a wonky face Don’t have big white teeth Or hair that fits in I hunch & create Chaos in this man-made place I aint your cheer-leader Side-kick, the “Mrs” Or your damned kid feeder I am darkness Sent to crush Your plastic dreams Like a leader I am. - but not quite; I’m a curly wurly doll With black eyes You’ve had the keys too long! Crippled us, we can’t fly Hand them over with a song And a dance Mr Man Sometimes people say “don’t Make a song and a dance about it!” But do! Oh please do! And wobble yourself Topple yourself Your buildings and foundations Till they crack smack WHACK And from them up up UP I rise So get ready for me Little wee me like a daisy (in the cracked pavement) I am. Or am I? You don’t see me Coming cos I have a curl (Sweet little girl) In the middle of my forehead And when I am good I am very very good But when I am bad I am WOMAN So, I had the "Soupface" read-through last Friday, 3rd February at RADA and it went very well indeed with some great feedback. Now I have a better idea of what needs to be fixed thanks to the wonderful talents of my classmates.
On Saturday 4th February, I went to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria and Our New Girl at the Bush Theatre. Talk about a fantastic day at the theatre! The two shows were brilliant! I was very pleased with myself indeed. I have now seen both the plays that are on at the moment at RADA, performed by my classmates. The two shows are wonderful. You should go see them! They are: "The Maids" on in the GBS and "Saturday Night" a Stephen Sondheim Musical on in the Vanbrugh. Buy your tickets here I have now begun writing a werewolf feature film. I am 10 pages in and am stuck. Let's wait a while and see what happens... Happy Happy New Year Everyone!!! Love to one & all! Hope you have a great party! As for me I'm off to Block T to have a right aul rollicking night of fun & frollicks!
