LonCon. Done.
Aug. 18th, 2014 05:06 pmHoly... Wow. So, we've done our show. At WorldCon. In London. We estimate about a thousand people in the audience(!!!), and from what I've gathered... they loved it.
I can't really describe how I'm feeling right now. We've worked so hard on this show, for so long, and now... it's done. The more the adrenaline wears off, the more I want to cry. Not tears of joy, exactly. Definitely not tears of sadness. Just... relief. Melting, quivering relief. I've strutted and fretted this moment, upon this stage, for so long, been heard by a an amazing audience, and now... I am no more. In a good way.
Yeah, it's bittersweet, but mostly sweet. I came here to do one show, ended up involved in FIVE to varying degrees (more on those later), met some lovely people (ditto-- though fun fact: I was just interrupted writing this post by a guy from Israel telling me how much he loved the show), and... basically, this whole experience has been amazing. So much went into it, and it was all worthwhile.
Dang.
Plus (...technically) I can now say I've performed Shakespeare in London! :)
Thanks to everyone who helped us "beta" the show, or otherwise helped keep us afloat while we prepared it.
