Well, if January hasn’t just flown by! As reported elsewhere I took and passed my BADC Level 1 stage combat exam with Gold. Simultaneously I returned to the Banquet to cover for illness as several Medieval types were struck down with flu!

Returning to the Banquet was a real pleasure (especially when presented with new and exciting costumes!) so I have agreed to return for a three month period. On of the new costumes is pictured below.

Within the next few weeks I hope to provide more information about my schedule for the rest of the year, but in the spirit of not counting chickens I won’t say anything yet…… Just know all my fingers and toes are crossed!

That’s all for now

A super quick note to say that on Saturday I gained my BADC Level 1 stage combat qualification at Gold level, woohoo!

More information and videos clips to follow, but I am now certified for rapier and dagger, single sword and unarmed!

Thats all for now!

After failing in her quest for world domination Bad Witch Hazel had to resort to working the tills at the opening of the new Tesco in Bedworth…..

How the mighty have fallen!

That’s all for now!

In other news, rehearsals are going well, my costume is sparkly and amazing and my evil laugh is out in full force!

Panto rehearsals are well and truly underway and it’s all very exciting. The cast is very strong and there should be some really exciting moments in the show. Also, I’m hoping to achieve a panto first; I’ll certainly be doing something out of the ordinary for a Pantomime Witch!

Tickets are selling now, so if you need to book click HERE asap! Opening night is December 3rd, but on Tuesday 29th I shall be appearing on BBC Radio CWR with other pantomime baddies to chat about the coming season. Tune in at ten past four!

Below is a sneak pic of the set….

Mwah ha ha ha ha!

What’s that you say? It’s Panto time?
Now I’m getting all excited!
So book your tickets, I’ll see you there,
Because you’re all invited!
This year’s treat is Sleeping Beauty,
(The princess’s narcoleptic!)
And I’ll be cackling manically
So join us! Don’t be a sceptic!!

Rehearsals are imminent, we open on December 2nd at Bedworth Civic Halls. See you there!

After months of watching the Banquet knights clashing steel on steel, I decided to bite the bullet myself and have a go!

Three Happy Musketeers in TrainingIndependent Drama ran a one day Musketeers Workshop to coincide with the release of The Three Musketeers, so with no experience of rapier and dagger whatsoever but buckets of enthusiasm I enrolled on this course!

Warning! Sword fighting causes muscles to ache you didn’t know you had!

However, after a great day I have decided to enrol on a certified course in the new year, so watch this space! Spot the three happy Musketeers in training on the left!

That’s all for now!

Time has flown by and I am entering the last fortnight of my contract at the Banquet!

The last six months has been so much fun and I am definitely going to miss the wonderful cast and crew there. However, as one door closes another opens and – after a short trip to warmer climes – I shall be returning to the boards as the wicked witch in Bedworth Civic’s Sleeping Beauty!

More info to follow soon on that, but in the meantime I plan to love every moment of my last fortnight as an all singing, all dancing, bawdy wench of the banquet!

Love

Nicola
