New friends and more theatre

In September, it seems ages ago now, my evenings were pretty much filled with helping out with the costumes for the Count of Monte Cristo, a rock opera based on the Alexander Dumas novel. It was great fun, assisting the lovely Ailsa Rendell. Doing mostly alterations of exisiting costumes, it was nice to be able to actually make the leading lady's dress from scratch, such a pretty style. I'll put some pictures up. I might make something similar for myself. The cast were lovely, such good fun. I had my first experience of a "quick change" too which was super nerve-wracking but such an adrenaline rush! The leading man transformed from a dirty prisoner into the Count in approximately 4 seconds which was quite a change!
