Bellow's Rock Blows others out of the Water!
Posted on 1:22pm Monday 4th January 2010
Christmas might be over, but the Spirit lives on. Don't fall into the typical paucity of diet and detox after the holidays! January and February are bad enough with out starving yourself of a little libation.

Having recovered from the Brief Encounter with Noel Coward and the autograph requests have stopped we ventured across the channel to La Belle France with a group of our older chums to celebrate (perhaps not quite the right word) a significant birthday of mine.

So that’s it another show put to bed. It’s strange that when rehearsals are practically every night and nerves kick in, amateur actors sit round and wonder why they offer themselves up for such torture. Then as soon as the play is over there is a tremendous feeling of sadness that it’s all over. Very strange though I venture to suggest it is probably the same for many a professional actor dear boy.

Well both the technical and the dress rehearsal have been and gone and tomorrow night we open for our three night run of ‘A Brief Encounter with Noel Coward’ which includes the play ‘Still Life’ from which (and I’m sure you will remember this) the film Brief Encounter was made. Details of tickets are on previous blogs but suffice to say phone should you wish to see this extravaganza call 01865 820375 and ask for Betty.
