Just a few days ago, the annual 7-9 Production had our last performance. It was the first time i had participated in a school production, and i think that i enjoyed it pretty much.
It was a lovely experience, and even though it was hard to struggle through the long and dreary rehearsals, it ended up pretty good, up to the usual standards.
"Tales from the Arabian Nights"
We performed the play on several nights in a row. It turned out to be quite a success.
The audience laughed a lot, and seemed to enjoy it greatly.
Well, there were many positive comments.
I don't really know what to say. Just that it was a fun experience.
I kinda miss the crew now. We got quite close, and had lots of fun. One memorable moment was when a prop kinda fell apart. The scimitar.
It was hilarious.
In the story, there is like this evil blade which can enchant the holder and control him/her. Well basically, there is a climax in the story, when the enchanted sultan had a battle of wills with the scimitar, and at the beginning of the struggle, just at that moment, when he swung the sword...
The blade flew off. Seriously. Leaving the hilt.
We worked seriously hard to keep going. Everybody, the crew, and the audience, were falling to bits. We laughed so hard, and yet somehow managed to get our chorus lines through.
So in the end, the sultan was pointing the hilt to his wife, whom the scimitar wanted to kill, and the wife was trying very hard not to laugh at the hilt, and pretending to be scared.
It was a miracle we managed to get through it.
