mort kicks off with a bang 2007-03-23 06:05:14 mort kicks off with a bang. show week has finally arrived for cast's latest stage play 'mort', and it has been an unusually quiet few months for me. traditionally, i would spend the final month of a show build up desperately learning lines, blocking, etc... yet i've found myself extremely relaxed playing the short cameo role of 'rincewind' and one or two other villager stand ins. this week everything went public and with good success. in fact, rarely do cast fail to deliver a decent show and mort certainly ticks the boxes. fancy coming down to see it? for more information on the production which runs through to saturday 24th march 2007, please feel free to visit cast's official website.
