People who have been eagerly checking my blog to see what I decided to do last weekend can now be put out of their misery - I went to London to see the puppet show people. And much to my astonishment, I got the part of one of the central characters! I only signed up to audition because I fell in love with him in the 2012 show and wanted the opportunity to actually handle the puppet myself, but now I'm part of a great legacy! It's like becoming the new Doctor Who, only much better, because it involves puppeteering too!
Obviously, my timing wasn't perfect here, because my puppet-phobic brother is staying with me this week, so I'm just having to keep the puppet I brought home safely packed away, but between now and the May bank holiday, I'm going to be working hard on getting to grips with my favourite character and really doing him justice in my performance!
