Bassett!
Hi everyone
Sorry for not updating in a while - although this time I don't feel guilty about it, because I've literally had LOADS on!
Unfortunately this post probably won't really appeal to anyone who doesn't live in Bristol... but I thought it would be a great way of talking about the play that I'm in.
As I may have mentioned in a previous post, I am in a play called Bassett, which is being performed at Bristol Old Vic. It's all about young people's attitudes to the world and why we are at war.
I guess I'd better talk a bit about it. It's all set in a classroom at the Wootton Bassett school. Supply teacher Miss Kirmani has had a breakdown and run out of class, locking a class of 14 Year 11 Citizenship students inside. Outside, a repatriation is happening - but not an ordinary one, because one of the dead soldiers, Charlie, is actually from Wootton Bassett and is known to the students. Leo claims that he and Charlie were mates. Kelly claims to have gone out with Charlie. In the classroom are several big personalities - and, inevitably, people clash, become paranoid of each other and... well I don't want to ruin the ending, but it's good.
It's on at Bristol Old Vic from 7 - 11 September. (And yes, that is purposely to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11.) Tickets cost £12 - but it's well worth it! It's an amazing piece, in my own completely unbiased opinion. ;)
So yeah, come by. It'll be fun!
George :)
