Edinburgh Fringe 2009, Podcast 2. This podcast shows the actors practicing sword fighting and singing.

Well I thought it was about time that I joined in on the blog shenanigans especially after Lee’s epic post. Where to start? I am really enjoying myself, there is so much banter going on (hard work too of course) and of course every boy’s dream sword fighting! So far we have worked our way through half of the script and it is already beginning to take a good shape. As I am controlling the Jim Hawkins a lot of the time I am getting sore arms but its all for a good cause. I just need to get on those press-ups and build up my guns!

The sword fights are looking good, still need to work on how I use Jim properly during them though. It been quite tricky to make sure that its Jim who is fighting and not me even though it is actually me who is doing the fighting – a complicated concept indeed. I do feel like I’m getting better each time I pick up Jim. I had some great news today….. we now have our ‘real’ Jim in rehearsals which is brilliant!!! So now we can bond with him and work on bringing him to life.

I am enjoying the freedom we have with the script and the opportunity to really be creative, its so much fun. We are coming up with some classic material each day.

So far so good and now to leave u with a joke.

What is a pirate's favorite type of music?

Arr and B!
