For those who dunno what the hell is a pantomine, dun think its some ppl holding puppet and talk thru their other holes apart from their mouth. It is actually a theatrical play which is comedious and interactive with the attending audience. I was suck into it due to my fren KennyPhyllis. He played the part of a makcik. One of their cast couldnt make it to penang and I was asked to be one of the understudy.
"A what?"
"Understudy."
"Kenny, what is that? Study under the table?"
"No lar. U just learn a character and if the person cant perform that role, u have to chip in."
"Amboi, so fancy that name. More like standby lar!"
"Something like that."
It was really fun being an understudy. And i always pray that the guy i am understudying (Nick Dorian) get sick or too busy. (Opps...sorry nick) But i only get to play it two times. As the day draws near I went back to my normal tuition routine and gym. Until another news came up.
They dun have a lighting man. Since I was already involved and didnt want to have such good production to go to waste, I chipped in again. It was fun. 10 days of tiring production but still very fun!
I do hope the director, Sham Sunder Binwani will involve me in his next pantomime. And i do hope to be able to give him the time he needs of me. Aiks....fingers crossed...
