Theatre Geekery Update

This is a very sleepy Emily signing in to say that I DID get through to the Druid Theatre box office at around 5:45am, after forty-five minutes of busy signals. Aaaand...the tickets had all been sold out, but I DID get on the waitlist at least, and am near the top of said waitlist. The woman I spoke to on the phone knew me from my Twitter page (haha! I love that. Cyber life, meet real life). She was very friendly and accommodating, and also said that since I'll be on the island that day anyway there's a good chance I'll get in to one of the performances even if I don't get off the waitlist.

Here's hoping!

And now, I'm going back to bed for a few more Zzzz's....

Theatre Geekery

I'm waking up at 5am on Monday (tomorrow) morning to make a long distance phone call to Ireland.

Why? you ask.

Because the Druid Theater company of Galway is putting on a production of Martin McDonagh's play The Cripple of Inishmaan.

ON Inishmaan. When I'M on Inishmaan!!!

There are a limited number of tickets available for non-residents of the islands, and the box office opens at 10am on Monday.

Martin McDonagh's other plays include The Pillowman, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, A Behanding in Spokane, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, and others. I'm a big fan of his dark humor.

I'm saying a prayer tonight to Manannan mac Lir god of the sea that I'm able to get a ticket.

Wish me luck!
