Love steals us from loneliness - early rehearsal footage

I hope this works - this is from the camera that kept bleeping so it's short and sweet but a little taster of rehearsals last…

Love Steals Us from Lonelines rehearsal update

Well we had a wicked rehearsal tonight at Bridgend College with an amazing group of Young People! The cast were re directed a number of times and Katie was shaking her booty about with her red rehearsal knickers round her ankles, ripping off the tops of testtube shots with her teeth and throwing them around the space...what an energy they created and what fantastic feedback and ideas they generated.

lovely to see bits of the play in front of an audience too - what a difference…

Love Steals us from Loneliness, rehearsals week 2

Well it's nearly thursday and I haven't blogged yet this week - you must all be missing me!

I have been trying to get some nice video moments form rehearsal but the camera I have keeps embarrassingly beeping when it is turned on - highly distracting for the actors - so I haven't managed to get much yet. I will try my best to get some tomorrow and attempt to upload them before the weekend.

This week has been a trip down memory lane into the hazy, boozy days of…

The cast of Love Steals Us from Loneliness goes on tour in Bridgend for the second time

As we decended on Bridgend again, the sun was shining and we all boarded the open top bus ready for our guided tour of Bridgend courtesy of our lovely tour guides Katie and Mark. It was fab to actually build up a physical picture of the town.

preparation for tomorrow!

Dutifully doing my homework, I am currently trawling through the script to find all references to places in Bridgend - so that tomorrow we can visit them all and put everything into context. Really looking forward to seeing all of these landmarks as we take a guided tour through Bridgend courtesy of local actors Katie and Mark! I'll let you know how it goes and hopefully I will soon have learnt how to upload some video so I can give you some little 'bytes' of rehearsals..bye for…

The 'love steals us from loneliness' cast hit the streets of Bridgend - on a mission!

After being brought to tears by the read through yesterday, I was determined that today I would toughen up - I didn't think I would have to be as brave as I was!

Well - we arrived at Cardiff Central for our day trip to the venue in Bridgend. As we were handed out our rail tickets it was like going on a school trip - I was a little over excited and buzzing off too much caffiene and broken sleep...but as we came out the other side in Bridgend, I had to pinch myself to check I wasn't…
