Love you all xxx Rox xxx

ALEC

((((Well Done indeed))))Thoroughly enjoyed the show Roxana, tis always an uplifting experience, yet it always saddens me with the tumultious amount of work and dediction you all put into it and it has not the support it truly deserves. Thank you again for the experience and food for thought that you always inject in your shows! XxX Alec

Then I wrote to Alec apologizing forthe daylit show?he replied:

The inhibitions/ limitations did not show of the venue, because of the artistry and 'professionalism' of the actors. Again well done, to one and all. I came to the first show because of the 'expected' initial lack of support and it was still well worth the visit (o: Take a bow all of you!! (o: XxX Alec

After Theatre Royal Performance

Hello, Sorry for the delay in leaving this message - access to PC andremebering to do this only just caught up with each other. We came backfor a second helping and were not disappointed! really wished I hadremembered a pen for some autographs, being in a proper theatre reallygave the whole show something more than when you performed at Westgate.Hopefully the team will get together for another production soon, youwere all brilliant! would love to see you work together again. But nowyou all deserve a well earned break. Take care x

After Westgate performance:

Thank-you for such a profound experience. John and I will want to come to the 22nd May performance at the Theatre Royal, if there are any seats left, please??? will do a write up on Elahe when i have hopefully, been to the 22nd May show. i have something in mind for London.  AGAIN, DEAREST ROX, CONGRATULATIONS!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After Theatre Royal performance:

Yesterday the 22nd May's performance of Elahe was fantastic!! the show went superior heights and i sincerely hope that the local press will pick up on this.. I thought friday night's performance was superb and you young lady are headed for the heights!!

 I should not be at all surprised if your show - ultimately - would reach the London stage!  I think the lady who played the 'nympho' was hilarious! (as did the rest of the audience judging by the applause as she made her final bow at the close of show)! But evryone was brilliant - so Congratulations to you all. Of course, i do think John and i benefited to some degree having seen the first act and part of the second at the Westgate Pavilion because Graham and the dancers(beautiful, delicate and feminine girls) could be seen full bodied so to speak.They were truncated at the Theatre Royal.

Suzanne:

Rox the show waz fantastic! Enjoyedevery minute. I havent laughed so much 4 years xx

Bonny

Bloody Hell that was great! Well Done

Caroline

Roger

What a splendid show you put on. Thankyou

AZ

The first part was funnier, the secondpart was moving. Definitely your best work yet. Thank you and all your group.Well done.

Dave

You always worry needlessly. Your show definitely did Theatre Royal Proud. The audience are rarely aware of the amount of work you put into a show. Don't let anyone or anything stop you. You are all doing excellent work. I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed it all. You delivered your promise, again! Keep on doing what you do and God Bless you all.

Paul (bold)

There is not much difference between madness and genius. Your show was there! When are you going to do the show about the obelisk again? I loved that.

Peter

A bit late but better late than never! Well done to all those involvedin 'Elahe' you did Rox proud. I look forward to seeing 'River Tempo' asthe original was the first Rox production that I ever saw. Love ya. 

Hi all

Hi Peeps

'Adversities require Action!'

I just wanted to thank all of you cast and crew for being such good sports, taking the recent shock to the system to the chin...in regards to the last minute change of show date.

You are such magnificent troopers....I LOVE YOU xxxx

Also seeing how hard you have all worked, and how beautiful you have developed your characters and how the show is coming together....I am simply whole heartedly proud of each and every one of yous.

Excellent or Alright?

From Rox to the cast who always have a just excuse for missing rehearsal

Hyia Director, it's me your dear friend and pal

I know its short notice, but listen here, gal

Just wanted to say, I won't turn up tonight

To the rehearsal, see, I don't feel so bright!

I know I have missed a rehearsal or two

But we got plenty time, I can see it through

Oh and while we're at it, let me tell you this

Would you mind if I also skip next week's?

Got to take my son to his annual match

My hobby or his, you know its no patch

What you say I hear? The schedule? What's that?

Oh I looked at it once, my eyelids didn't bat

Don't worry sweetheart, I am learning my lines

Security, you see, to hold the script at all times

I won't let you down, you know I can deliver

Understudy needs practice, time you can give her

What? Others turn up and need me there?

Many times they were absent, please be fair

Group dynamics? Bonding, Energy, Budget?

It's each to their own, love, chill out and f@#k it

Oh please don't give my part to anyone else

I am really committed, I am a passionate case

I know that Excellence is your main plight

To me it's enough to be ALRIGHT on the night!

'If you miss practice more than once,

the audience will notice'.

I thought for those of you who want to be regularly in touch with what we do...I best make a blog.

So here it is.

Please feel free to write comments, ideas, suggestions (you can do that in the guest book too)...but I will put the comments and ideas that I like in this blog for all to see.

Muwah and hugs
