Bar and Ger

As followers of my blog will know, I performed in the one-act play “Bar and Ger” (by Geraldine Aron) during the Franklin One-Act Play festival on 1 April 2006. While I didn’t win anything, John Atkinson won for best director, Kathy Clayton won for best actress, and the play won for best production. Many people have told me I deserved to win, but I did not. Kudos to Christopher Dudgeon who did win, for his performance as Gus in “The Dumb Waiter” by Harold Pinter.

In any event, the cast of the one-night-only play has been invited to perform at the Wits Theatre for the SANCTA Festival later this year. I am ecstatic about that, because it now means more people can come and watch this excellent play. Maybe it’s the script, maybe it’s the direction, and maybe it’s the music, but there was an element that helped the actors (Kathy and me) to create something magical.

I will keep you informed. As I understand it, we will be performing at the end of July and / or the beginning of August 2006.
