5 days in

So, today is our fifth performance and it's quite lovely to say that again we are sold out. In fact we are entirely sold out for tomorrow as well with tickets for the rest of the run disappearing fast.
The shows are going very well with great responses from the audience - had a bit of a crazy Valere yesterday who was called 'Rategg' or something.
Reviews are starting to come in, all largely positive and we're now starting to get some attention from the national media now - look out for the Tartuffe troupe on the BBC culture show!
The Squat nights are going nicely as well, most of which are selling out and people are starting to buzz a bit about the bar. Hopefully we'll get a good crowd in on Wednesday when it is taken over by Orgon's Troupe for the Tartuffe Cabaret.
Also, look out for some pictures popping up on flickr and places, when we're out flyering in costume it feels like we're followed by the paparazzi!

One day down

Yesterday was our opening night for the Squat (Belt Up's Edinburgh venue this year hosting Tartuffe, Trial and the Squat nights)

Tartuffe and Trial went fantastically - both shows selling out on their first day which was utterly unexpected. Tartuffe also had 8 reviewers in to add to the pressure. Both went well though - Tartuffe had a good Valere in the shape of a guy called Rodney (perfect funny name) and all the audience were well up for the group hug at the end.

The first 'Squat night' was equally successful, the bar was buzzing and we had a lot of people whacking on the blindfolds for a 'Dreamscape'. Was very hot in there, despite it being well past midnight.

Absolutely shattered after but now well awake for day number two!
