Highs and Lows

The pace of life is picking up again. With the big You’ll Do For Now show opening next Friday, almost every evening has some Chorus-related activity associated with it. Work has been busy too, with several new projects on the go concurrently, plus several obscure problems taxing both my skills and my ability to juggle time-zones.

Poor Rich C has had to pull out of the show after he had an emergency appendectomy last week and then more surgery to fix some complications. I imagine he is feeling pretty wretched right now – both from the surgery and from having to miss the show; he was one of the leads and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.

Nevertheless, the show seems to be coming together nicely (although Rich’s understudy is a little panicked right now!) I think that by the time we open, we are going to have an absolutely fantastic show to a very professional standard… I only hope we have enough tickets sold to at least break-even. At the moment, the sales figures are abysmal. Everyone is being pushed to market the show to friends, family and contacts (so if you haven’t bought a ticket yet, click on the banner at the top of the page!!) in the hope that a late rush will fill the house.

Not much else happening at the moment. I came home tonight to find that the entire street was without power. I am writing on battery power by candlelight at the moment and I am dreading what state the freezer is going to be in tomorrow morning. The power has already been off for two hours and the workmen busy digging up the roadway say they have no idea how long it will take to fix…

Update: The power came on about 1am so the freezer looks like it survived. Phew!
