While most little girls were dreaming of being princesses of fairy queens I was dreaming of being a cowboy or a pirate and last night one of those ambitions was realised!!!

Due to the sudden unavailability of one cast member, I was asked to go on as one of Captain Gordon’s pirate crew last night.

The last minute decision was taken with 45 minutes till curtain up and we were all very grateful that the costume fitted! I shall continue to play this part for the show’s duration at the Lansown and revel in being one of Captain Gordon’s disreputable crew!

Below you can see a picture of Pirate Nicola. Evidently I am very pleased with my piratical garb, though I confess I am getting very attached to my hat!!!

That’s all for now!

I am very pleased to announce that I shall now be playing the lead female role of Christine Broadribb in ‘Seconds Out’.

Sadly due to personal reasons Natasha Staples is unable to take on the role as previously planned. After careful consideration the producers offered the role to yours truly and I am delighted to be able to accept.

Rehearsals are likely to commence in earnest the instant I return from the Edinbugh festival and I will post more news, as it becomes available, on here!

That’s all for now!

As sung by Cinderella in Into the Woods, ‘I wish to go to the festival’, the Edinburgh festival that is! And joy of joys, my wish has been granted! From 15th – 29th August I shall be in Edinburgh with the wonderful new play Whores Aboard. The show has a Facebook page, which also details the shows in Bristol beforehand.

An extract from the publicity material is shown below. During the run I shall be understudying Miranda, whilst also dressing as a pirate and sword fighting on the royal mile!

Publicity extract:

“1666, the coast of St Lucia. Captain Gordon welcomes us on board his ship, The Marauder, heaving with exotic stolen treasure, his crew of cut-throat pirates, and three bawdy whores plying their trade freely to keep up the men’s spirits.

Lust, jealousy, murder and madness – a breathless tale of adventure and tragedy on the high seas.“

See you there!
