Blogs at Dauntsey's School

After the joyous news over Christmas that Dauntsey’s was going to get to perform in the West End again (this time with Saigon), the cold hard reality of actually making it happen has set in. Tickets for the show sold out within days. Anyone watching our Twitter feed or Facebook page would have seen the constant updates on the first day of tickets going live of the numbers being sold. The Prince of Edward is no small space and to sell the number of seats we have done in such a short time is incrediably. I foolishly thought that tickets would sell over a couple of weeks. How wrong I was. From all the photos of the stage of the theatre with the Jersey Boy’s set (the show that is currently on) it looked like we’d enjoy a nice big stage space. Something else I was wrong on. After a visit the other week by the Heads of Drama and Music, the reports came back that Jersey Boys is a very busy show which does not leave us with much space to work in. Then came the stage plans and yes every inch of the stage/rigging/wings is taking up by the incumbent show. Wednesday I get to visit the theatre myself along with members of the Drama and Music departments which I am very much looking forward to.

Well I am here as the new Drama GAP student and am really looking forward to my time here. Everyone has been very friendly and I look forward to be involved with the Drama and Dance departments at the school. Off to see the Nutcracker in London tonight - very exciting

We’ve finally been let out of the gates on the final run and it’s going to be non-stop until performance day!

The cast are being particularly patient with a particularly energized director and hopeufully the bug will start to catch soon.

Here we go!
