There have been rumblings and grumblings amongst the cast regarding an After Show Party. Well here it is - all the drinks and food are on the house. And by the end they will probably be all over the floor as well. Have a blast guys - you deserve it!

Note: Members of the general public and audience are very welcome at this party, and cast members can choose to appear both in and out of costume. So that's nice.

Ooh, you liar!

If you need me, I'll be in the corner, getting drunk on red wine and signing autographs on any random body-part you so wish.

You were wooooooooooonderful, dahlings, simply wonderful!

If anyone wants me, I'll be in the kitchen with my hot chocolate and a mince pie or two. [Roll Eyes]

Either that, or I'll be the crumpled heap in a corner of the kitchen, snoring and catching up on a fortnight of late nights [Snore]

I'm glad to put that baton down finally ... ah, is that Bushmills? Don't mind if I do ...
 
Posted by Director (# 3664) on :
 
It's too perishing cold in this place to appear out of costume. [Frown]

A Crabbie's ginger wine would do nicely though. (Unlike my stage persona, I don't really drink much at all.) [Angel]
 
Posted by Phil the Wise Guy (# 3678) on :
 
Ah, feels good to stretch and get into pj's, silk smoking jacket, ascot, and pair of fuzzy cartoon character slippers.

I have two urns of my homemade mulled wine and some hot cider, both of them on the sideboard over there, next to the cups. I even brought some of my chocolate chip cookies, too.

I'd like to publically thank all my cast mates, the director(s), producers, for their hard work and dedication to a very uncertain cause. Thanks also to Sir Tomkins the critic for his amusing and all-too-often uncomfortably accurate reviews [Eek!] , and especial thanks to Simon for allowing us to clutter up his ship with our wackiness. [Not worthy!]

Thank you, one and all.

Now, bring on the mead and wenches! [Snigger]

Gold enters the room with fake 70's hair do and clothes to match, a copy of Abba gold. She saunters over to the sterio and puts on said CD

click, click, click

dancing queen begins to play

I think I was made for this track! Anyone for a boogie?!

I've grown rather attached to my costume, though, especially with a few of the bows and bells re-attached.

Ah, I see the party's started!

I'm glad there's a good dry cleaners around here so I could make my costume white again.

Given there seems to have been a distinct lack of Guinness available in the bars of Palestine, I will amble over to the bar and help myself to some now. [Wink]

I'll have a glass of that, if it's going.

I must congratulate someone on the seamless movement from performance to drunken party. Quite inspired.

And the parallel development of audience to brothel is inspired.

From what I saw in the play, I think kingsfold is probably refering to the brothel [Eek!]

Something I've always wondered...

When some ppl drink their faces go red... When angels drink do their halos turn red? Does it matter if they drink red or white wine. Think this needs an experiment to determine!

*pours loads of wine for everybody*
*fetches another bottle of spumanti for those that like it.*
 
Posted by Musical Director (# 3651) on :
 
I am considering that experiment as well. I wonder how much I need to drink before I start seeing things in different colours? Let me start with this pint of Highland Park...

*wanders over from the corner, wher she has been scribbling furiously, and begins to sing*

(please feel free to join in the chorus each time...)

God rest you merry actors, may
He bless you one and all;
We’ve made our way to Bethlehem
And found the manger stall
(Although we deviated through
Elizabeth’s front hall)

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

The lowly sheep and shepherds all
Were soon to enter in
(The angels brought “Glad Tidings!”
And made an awful din)
The shepherds went off quick again
Into a local inn

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

We move now to the Wise Men four
And their assorted friends
They saw the star and followed it
Up to Jerusalem
Their gifts were taken off them so they
Fled to Bethlehem

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

The other visitors who came
To worship both the twins
Brought their assorted gifts and treas-ures
To lay down for them
They all found the babes first try
Out back of The Crown Inn

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

But Herod was not happy ’cos
The magi found him first
He ordered all the babes to die
And all wise men he cursed
His henchman chased their tour bus round
But it flew and submersed

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

We hope the audience enjoyed
The ship’s Nativity
(Now Evil Henchman’s occupied
As Lav’s new mum-to-be)
So let the feastings all go on
Until Epiphany

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

(In other words thanks guys - you were all fantastic) [Yipee] [Angel] [Yipee]

That was a kiss under the mistletoe, which I think is normally just a peck isn't it??

Either way more mistletoe anyone? [Wink]

What you do under the mistletoe is entirely up to you and the young lady in question!! If you wish to progress beyond a peck....
 
Posted by ChrisT (# 62) on :
 
No progressing past pecks, not until after the 9pm watershed at least.

This is a family show, remember.

Don't look at me, Pheonix is the one getting friendly with the angels!

Your PG certificate (so far) is safe with me.

Ah, but ChrisT (hopefully [Ultra confused] ) I have no need of shams or false pretenses... [Wink]
 
Posted by kenwritez (# 3238) on :
 
I want everyone to know I use NO false pretenses!

WARRANTY:*
=========
All my pretenses are 100% real, free range, organic, fat free, low in sodium, high in fiber, fair trade, politically correct and batteries are included, no assembly required, your mileage will not vary, Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to my pretenses. Caution: My pretenses may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.
My preteses contain a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.

Discontinue use of my pretenses if any of the following occurs:
Itching
Vertigo
Dizziness
Tingling in extremities
Loss of balance or coordination
Slurred speech
Temporary blindness
Profuse sweating
Heart palpitations
Death

If, after exposure to my pretenses, you begin to smoke or burst into red flame, get away immediately. Seek shelter near any volatile fuel tanks and cover head.

When not in use, my pretenses should be returned to my tiny tiny brain and kept under pressure and refrigeration to minus 300 degrees Kelvin.

My pretenses include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

My pretenses come with a lifetime guarantee, void upon immediate or delayed loan, gift, purchase, hire, theft, any form of use, in all inhabited areas and/or those areas with the letters "a," "e," "i," "o," "u," and sometimes "y" in their names during any hour.

My pretenses should not be taken internally or externally. If swallowed, induce vomiting and call for a hearse and deep-fried Mars bar.

* Apologies to Happy Fun Ball.
