So my next theatrical endeavour is the Melbourne premiere of my 16 women opus, “Hell Hath No Fury”. Yes you read right, 16 women. I did this show once before in Sydney and it was truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life – I made life long friends from that show.
So the pressure was on me when casting. Some actresses were precast, and some came via auditions (you can always guarantee when you have roles for young women there will be many to choose from during auditions). In the end I was pleased with the casting, but nothing could be certain until we got them together . A few actresses mentioned they were a little nervous meeting that many other cast members – I was just genuinely excited. And it wasn’t a let down, we met, we shared strange facts about each other and we laughed. Mostly importantly we read the play and the cast already sounded great. It was such a wonderful thing hearing the words again. The last production fading away and these ladies becoming these great characters.
So now rehearsals begin, well if I can ever get the schedule for 17 people sorted. There should be a lot of fun to be had, but also some hard work. All in preparation for bringing you an awesome show this November.
