On 1st November, the day after her birthday, Alexandra auditioned for the school play.The school were hiring in a professional director to put on a Japanese theatre inspired version of the Dickins classic.
Alexandra passed the audition and got her part - the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come. As well as being a Cratchett family member and a Lost Soul.
The cast rehearsed day in, day out for 5 weeks. We, fortunately, were able to arrange lift swaps with othere mums as rehearsals went on until 8pm during the week and all day Saturday. The last week saw the kids staying behind until 10pm. Needless to say they were exhausted.
We went to the show knowing it was going to be good, but were blown away by the whole body experience of the play. They used the whole hall, balcony, windows, corridors as well as the combination of music and lighting.
Spine tingling.
