Quote of the night - ”Man, that was intense“.
Wow! We had so much fun tonight it should be illegal!
The cast really took things up a couple of notches. They turned things up to 11 and thats a fact.
On behalf of Sustained Magic I would just like to say a massive thank you to a few people.
Firstly, and I cant say this enough thank you to everyone in the audiance. One person said “Man, that was intense!” Rebecca Holmes (a local actor) tweeted “Brill“. To all of you who were at the Derby Theatre Studio for tonight’s magic, I want you to know that, from the bottom of our hearts, it was fantastic to have you there with us. Thank you.
The four graduates from Huddersfield University, Lorelie, Jacqueline, Eleanor and Carly who have worked with Sustained Magic on this project, who have put in so much time, have embraced Rhiannon as a new cast member and helped us tell the story of a prison drama therapy group. Ladies, thank you. You are stars and will forever be part of the magic.
Our Stage Manager, Emma Fowler has been coming from nottingham every day. She takes our rehearsal stress, our performance insanity and all other needs and wants and magically solves our issues and looks after us. Emma, thank you, you are so much more than the word awesome can convoy but Sustained Magic couldn’t fly as high without professionals like you at our side.
We would also like to thank Rajan and Chadrac, our technical assistants on work placement from DMU for their work pre-show and their superb front of house performance. Guys, you rock the magic!
And Jenny, our opporator, without you our lights wouldnt run, our sound would be silent – there would be no magic. For your work we salute you.
Lastly… Derby Live, the University of Derby and Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor John Coyne who have been our most gracious hosts please accept our most grateful of thanks. The relationship Sustained Magic has with you is something very precious to us. With your aid we can continue to to go from strength to strength, to produce more outstanding theatre and to sustain the magic.
On behalf of all of Sustained Magic - Matt Green, Ed Kennedy, Rhiannon Prytherch, Angela Truby and James Glazebrook – to all the people mentioned above and more, again we say thank you.
Without your support we are just five artists, but with you we can bring magic into the world. And the world needs magic wouldn’t you say?
You can still buy tickets to Release, call 01332 255800 or visit Derby Live’s Online Box Office. We are on at the Derby Theatre Studio every night at 8pm until Saturday the 15th of January.
Sincerely,
Once again a rather short blog post here, sorry. Expect better in the future.
