'The Wedding'

No i didn't actually go a wedding yet!;)
Yesterday I got to see the footage of a community play which took place some years ago. A really ambitous 'cross-community' project ! It got community theatre groups from 'both sides' to get involved in making a play together and to influence the script. They actually switched roles...The Catholics played the Protestans and vice versa. It was called the 'Wedding' about a mixed marriage between a Catholic and a Protestant. The play first started off in a Catholic neighbourhood in someones house then the audience moved to the Protestants neigbourhood they then followed it to the church where they got 'married' with a party following afterwards in a pub where everyones mingled etc. I found this to be a really interesting concept as it is the excatly the kind of project i would be interested to follow. Its a pity its already taken place but I have however managed to get hold of the evaluation of the project and will try and meet up with the script writer/director and organizers soon!

*The sun is shining today again atlast!!! I just realised i haven't seen it all week! Its a really grey and gloomy place otherwise...and yesterday rained the whole day (yucky:s) the reason why there are so many pubs here maybe?!;)
