So, only half an hour till my final dress reherasal. I’m still not dressed yet – got out the shower to find that last night I not only filled my washing machine with ALL my towels – but I also forgot to put them in the drier.

And I have a cold.

But anyways, for anyone in the UK that wants to see the show, it’s a comedy called ‘It Runs in the Family’ by Ray Cooney.

“If you’re going to tell a lie, tell a whopper,” yells Dr. David Mortimore as events begin to spin deliriously out of control.

In a London hospital, Dr. Mortimore is preparing for the most important lecture of his life – one that could even earn him a Knighthood. An old-flame reappears, with an eighteen year old secret that is now all grown up and waiting downstairs, desperate to meet (and beat up) his dad. Frantic to hide the catastrophic news from his wife and the hospital authorities, David is forced to invent not one but two non-existant husbands for his old-flame Jane and enlist the help of his colleague Hubert Bonney. Events are further complicated by the presence of a police sergeant, a wandering senile patient, an assortment of matrons (real and otherwise), a syringe full of tranquilizer and the costumes for the hospital pantomime!

The show is being performed at Daneside Theatre in Congleton (inbetween Crewe and Macclesfield in South Cheshire) from Monday 10th – Saturday 15th October @ 7:30pm prompt.

Now for a bit of a competition! For the first person each night who doesn’t already know me in person, who comes upto me after the show and says “RABID MONKEY MOOSES MAKE ME WANT TO LEARN HOW TO JUGGLE IN AN IGLOO EVERY THURSDAY” – I will buy both them and a friend a drink from the bar! ;)

And just to make it easier for ya – I’m the guy playin the teenager. Hope to see you there :)
