We've just finished our first week with
It's Not All Rain & Potatoes out in front of a live audience: two previews, a press night on Wednesday, running through to two shows on Saturday. After a slightly anxious start - one day to tech and get in a new show - we were up and running. By Tuesday the material had found its feet. By Thursday it had good reviews. Not that this stopped us - as promised - we cut and rewrote before each of the performances, based on feedback from audiences and our own sense what works and what doesn't. Very satisfying, if challenging! We're getting everything we can out of this first outing, honing the show based on audience reaction. Ahead lie three more performances, in Antrim, Strabane and Portwstewart, and a chance to see what they audiences make of the show outside Belfast.
