post audition - luck be a lady with me!

I forgot about the joyous post-audition wait. Oh post audition wait - how tortuous you are. You flirt with me - promising success and joy and happiness - but play coy - will you call or will you not call. AND - you have my number but I don't have yours - so I have no choice but to wait or distract myself while I wait. And - see other auditions while I wait for you to call me and say we are official. Of course - there is always horrifying thought that you won't ever call - in which case - I simply have to write you off and say I was too good for you - and wonder if I am too good for you why am I not WITH you. Oh post audition - you are a cruel mistress - and all I can say is LUCK BE A LADY WITH ME!

Also - I think one of the best things I saw this week was Reinking's face when I told her a girl tried to convince me there was a Lady Jane in Shakespeare's Richard III. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. It was a fight I chose to not even fight. I asked "do you mean Lady Anne?" "no no Jane." "are you sure?" "Yes." "Well let me check in my complete works. No Lady Jane listed." "Well - she's only in two scenes - she might not be listed." "Oh. I guess I didn't know that." Me fighting that fight would only cause trouble in an already bizarre dressing room. It is not the type of place you want to whip out - anything I'd whip out in that fight. Delicate egos need to be massaged. And - I will let you know - I am perfectly confident in my knowledge of Richard III. I don't need to prove to anyone that I know it better than they do. I know - at the end of the day - when the RSC comes around - Boydy will say that I'm with the company. And all is well.
