Hey everyone tonight is the premier of the school theatre production I'm involved in at our school tonight and you've all got to wish me and my group luck that we can pull it off decently.
You may laugh, thinking, pff, school theatre group, bound to be shit. But in the past 3 months we've had rehearsals of 4 to sometimes 9 hours non-stop! Tonight is the premier, we're having a meal together afterwards which means I probably won't get in till 2am, and here's the best part...I have to be back at school at 8am to rehears ALL FUCKING DAY because one of the actresses is really sick and got only act today, so we have to get a new girl from school in and force the whole part on her. MAD.
The play? "Das Peter Pan Syndrom", a completely rewritten version of Peter Pan where Peter, Wendy etc. are all 18-20. I play Wendy's brother John who gets drunk at her 18th party and appears as a crocodile in her dream and get to eat Hook at the end and smear my face with fake blood...mmm...
ANYWAY, enough said. I'm really looking forward to doing this and need your support. Just reply to this message and I'll feel less nervous.
I've got to leave in 1 hour.
Cheers

The teacher who does it got 1st place at THE Bavarian School Theatre Festival 3 years ago with Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". I saw that, it was fucking brilliant. He's really into extreme stuff and special effects. He's not one to compromise.
We have very little money so we have to make all the props and costumes ourselves because our school doesn't give two shits about the theatre group (even though it was the best in Bavaria 3 years ago!)
Anyway thanks for all the support. I might log in again before I go, otherwise ciao and c y'all all on Saturday.

all the music is self-produced, by the guy who plays Peter Pan (he doesn't sleep) with Cubase. Some of it's kind IDM-y, not really my kind of music but it fits the play really well and you can tell he's put an awful lot of effort into it, recording guitar, accordean, vocals, keyboards, harmonica and on top of all that more instruments and drum computers from Cubase and whale noises...the list goes on and on. He's a workaholic.
And none of us getting paid for this remember.

I might do the music for the play next year which is another ace project, to do with the occult, set in the middle ages and nowadays, half theatre, half film.
The Shakespeare play had loads of harsh drum'n'bass which was kewl!

this isn't normal for a German school mccabe, this man who runs it is the weirdest human being there is. He's 42, I went to see Massive Attack, Portishead and saw him at the Oasis concert in Munich '97 too. We listened to Kruder + Dorfmeister in the car on the way to Portishead in January '98.
