The Matrix: first night

[pozorvlak]

Last night was the first Edinburgh performance of The Matrix: The Pantomime.

We sold out.
(In a good way).

I'm slightly in shock. I've done six Edinburgh shows before, five of them pretty good, and this is the first sold-out performance.

The actual performance was good, though could have been improved in places. My daming was slightly off at the beginning, and there was a confused bit in the middle where Neo and Morpheus managed to interpolate a joke from one scene into an earlier one (but, to their credit, recovered, and didn't repeat any lines - we all noticed, because we're very familiar with the script, but I'm not sure if the audience did). And special notice must go to Keith, playing Cypher, who nailed the part. The audience, however, were absolutely awesome, got all the jokes, had huge enthusiasm, did all the "he's behind you" etc with gusto, and were generally great to perform to.

83 tickets left for tonight. We can do it again. Oh yes.

The preview performance (which, as usual, was the only uncut performance) was filmed. Here's a deal: we'll give you a copy of TMTP when you give us the footage from the preview of Dracula :-)

Great!

I take it you won't be running it any longer by September 3?

Last performance is this Sunday, the 19th. Don't worry, I'll be back in Glasgow in plenty of time :-)

Oh - I missed the Glasgow - Edinburgh disconnect. The question was rather meant along the lines of "I won't get to see it, will I?"

Congrats!

YEAH!! I'm absolutely thrilled. I have to say, the show - and all of you - deserve it. I wish I could see it if the flesh, as it were, but sadly, not to be.

Enjoy it!
