Watching Rugby and Drinking Tea

So I went to the callback for Call for the Condemned. The director liked my British accent and told me to do it again. We explored the character of Jealousy a bit more and I had some good fun with her. He told me to give her a kind of tick and I gave her a bit of a neck twitch and some nervous thumb biting.
It went really well and he seemed to really like me.
After the callback though I was worried about how I might not be able to do Oleanna if I were cast in Condemned. So I was relieved when I got the email that they weren't able to offer me a role.
But in the email the director mentioned that he gave my name to the director of Oleanna and told him to keep a look out for me at the auditions.
The Oleanna director wrote to me later on facebook telling me about the venue that they're going to use:
It's this newly renovated place called the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham. They're taking ticket reservations for Oleanna already it seems.

For those of you who don't know it, it's a two person play; one male professor and his female student and it gets pretty intense. They have a good synopsis in the link I posted above. William H. Macy once played the professor.

Saturday:
Zarah and her flatmates, Bettina and Preet, and I went to BarOne to watch England and France in the semifinals. Bettina being half French was gutsy and wore a France shirt...that she made that day. England won and I don't know why I didn't think about how crazy the place was gonna get if England won before I went there.

Mmmmm...Johnny Wilkinson...

Finals are next week: they'll be playing South Africa (who won by a landslide against Argentina last night) and they'll be showing it on the BIG screen (as if their big screens in the bar weren't enough...and come to think of it they probably aren't) and I think I'm going. I'm even thinking of borrowing some face paint.

I then retired to my flat...for some English tea and video chat with my film making friends back home who were participating in this 24 hour Apple film fest. I'll post the link to their entry as soon as I get it; the official date to begin viewing is October 19th.

So there's that.
Oleanna auditions are today and tomorrow so wish me luck!
And Zarah and I are gonna try to get tickets to Othello in London (with Ewan McGregor as Iago...oh my god!) and Rufus!
