Well if I do say so myself dear things, WHAT A STONKER!
After a long, cuticle-biting trip-to-the-water-closet-inducing day of tech-ing and dressing and prodding the actors the premiere of Pride Bristol Theatre's The Darkling Plain went up and what a hoot it was!
It all kicked off of course with our fabulous pre-show vintage fair where we were joined by Cox and Baloney, had our tastebuds tickled by Pretty Amazing cakes and were treated to a stall by the bloody marvellous Malago WI.
Unfortunately Cox and Baloney will be unable to join us this evening but instead we have the rather marvellous Sincerelyours with clothing and nick nacks and what not, what a bunch of loves!
We had fab pre-show and interval-tainment (is that a word? I'm trademarking it) from the melodious Jo Gilder joined by some lovely singers of Sing Out Bristol, fab acapella 40s' hits from Bristol's own Out of the Blue not to mention a dazzling display by Graeme and Ann from Hoppin' Mad. There were spins and twirls and lifts and well bloody impressive stuff dear things. Such athleticism, it's enough to make one need a little sit down.
Special mention, however, must go to Beehive brides for their incredible vintage make-overs; I don't think Mrs C. has ever been quite as happy as when sitting under heated rollers, gin in hand! I tell you you will never look this good again for a tenner and do ask Fiona for some showbiz goss about who she's had in the chair....
And speaking of goss, what a fabulous and intriguing display stall from OutStories Bristol, can't wait to see what new stories they added to the LGBT map tonight!
Oh, then the show was a bloody marvel too and tonight we're going to do it all again! Tickets are selling awfully ruddy quickly so make sure you get yours dear things!
See you under the bunting, ice and lemon!
Fondest squeezings,
Mrs C x
