Nah.

And so, just like that it’s over. After what has been possibly the most exciting, rewarding and stressful 4 months of my life, Ungraded has had it’s opening (and closing) night and it appeared to go down well with our audience, there were laughs in the right place (and some wrong places) and reflective silence in the correct places. It truly feels like I watched my baby on stage and I am so proud of all of my Cast and Crew, they have made this experience enjoyable overall and the show tonight went so smoothly.

I felt like I did the best that I could in my all of my roles. I did make mistakes, ones that I will readily admit to, but I also did a lot of things right. In terms of my direction, I would have loved to be able to spend more time on the play, as even on the show there were still moments that I know I could have gotten more out of, but overall I feel that we at Railcard Theatre achieved our goals, outlined in our mission statement:

Railcard theatre is a new theatre company that specialise in creating entertaining, escapist theatre that tackles relatable and inspiring issues through performance. Our aim is to challenge the stigma around theatre by making it an accessible experience for young people to learn within and enjoy. We are looking to use real-life stories and experiences as a basis to write our own original content that will aim to help unite and inspire young people. We believe that theatre has the power to provide a creative outlet for young people who need guidance, unity and above all entertainment. Relatable stories are at the heart of our practice and we hope to inspire and entertain you with our performance.
