Last week in Peckham

We have packed so much into this week that it feels like a month has passed! We started on Monday with a singing session with the lovely Tim VE. We were in the music room of a Jacobean/Georgian/Regency....basically it was a beautiful house despite our/(my) ignorance. As I'm sure you can imagine, the boys couldn't resist a room full of toys...

Back to the rehearsal room to get down to serious business...

 

Oh dear Liam, still mucking around.

Bit more posing.

Tuesday proved difficult as we couldn't get into the room....so rehearsals began in the Deli, with coffee and brownies. Yum yum. Then we really did get down to work......

....after 1 quick game of 9 square. As I've said before, I won't mention Alastair Whatley's hat.

By Wednesday, we had got a fair amount of work done (honest!) Just as well, because none other than the man himself, Sebastian Faulks, dropped into rehearsal and came to the pub! He was lovely, it was a humbling experience to meet him. Hopefully, after we'd quizzed him on his books, the characters, nurses in WW1 and the footprints, he thought us an alright bunch too!

By the end of the week, we managed to not only get to the end of the play, but do a run on Saturday. Everyone did an incredible job and it was a perfect way to wrap our time in Peckham. We will miss The Infinity Studio but forward to Basingstoke we go! And a very exciting two weeks it promises to be.

Bye bye Infinity
