28th July 2013, 14:00: the first time the team behind Chaos by Design all meet.
19:30: the first time Chaos by Design show completes a run-through.
Last night, at the Bury Metro Christian Centre, Chaos by Design completed its first-ever, full run through. And just to rack up the nerves one bit more, we were yet to finish a dress rehearsal when 18:30 came and went and the opening music faded up to introduce the first scene.
What's more, Benedict and Raynar were up into the early hours yesterday morning tweaking and finalising the script, leaving themselves and Emmanuel mere hours to learn their lines.
But what would theatre be without the manic, last-minute insecurities and worries? Be it the genuine drama of our under-rehearsed minds, or the wonderfully dramatic waves of thunder which periodically echoed through Bury at poignant moments, (or it could have been the talent on-stage that night), our message seemed to hit home.
Now our team is finally together, we are ironing out the creases and looking forward to our first Fringe show this Friday. One last day in Manchester before we make Scotland our home for the next few weeks.
A huge thank you to everyone at the Bury Metro Christian Centre for turning out last night and helping us raise an incredible £500, and to Ya Freddy Wanga for opening the show for us.
