Spartacus: Highway to Hell... after all this time, a few photos!

Jaysus, I'm dreadful. You know what it's like when you have a job to do, but the longer you leave it the more the work piles up, so you keep putting it off? Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin. Whatever it is, just do it today, you'll feel better. Anyway, time to start catching up on the last 18 months of work I've been doing, like I promised I would back in September last year, and lied through my teeth and didn't... because I'm so busy and important (not!). I'm very naughty for not updating, and very silly too because if I don't write it all down, how will I remember what I've been up to?

Anyway, WAY in back in the day, I did a little show called Spartacus: Highway to Hell and it was fantastic! Written by Gavin Kostick, music and lyrics by Paul Burke and also directed by him, it was epic. Spartacus: The Musical! It was hard work putting it together but the packed out crowd of hundreds that came to see us for our one night only show made it so worth while.



So, there's me on the left of that front group in the shiny silver leggings and we're singing our little hearts out. The photo was taken by the lovely Steve Wilson who's often on hand to take shots of Whiplash shows. what I love about this one is that you can see some of the people in the audience. There's a few smiley faces there and you get a sense of the size of the crowd that continues all the way around to the left and right.



Here's me as lonely little Flavia, having a pensive moment while Spartacus, the love of my life sings about how maybe one day we'll get to settle down, have babies and get away from all the fighting and violence... Except that never happens because we die. Sad :(



I have to say, I love this shot. It was taken by a friend of mine just after the show. You can see the aftermath of Flavia's horrible death at the hands of Crassus. Very 'Disco Zombie' as a friend of mine of commented. I can't deny I'd had a lot of fun doing the show!

Well, that's the low down on Spartacus. Better late than never! It was a large but fantastic cast crew and we have to say thanks to Mary Weir in Dublin City Council for helping us along as she always does and for the space in the Civic Office Amphitheatre.

That's all for now. I WILL be updating over the next wee while to catch up, this time I promise! And I think I might do a small re-design. I've already added the 'Link Within' at the bottom of each post to give you ideas on other things I've been up to and I've added a feed from my twitter account on the right! I should, if I'm sensible, go off now and make a proper list, IN ORDER, of all the things I want to post because it'll help me organise my thoughts better... we shall see if I prove to be sensible!

Anyway, 2011 bring you an infinitly better year than 2010 did! With a new government in place today, I already feel hopeful!

Enjoy!
