It's hard to explain Revels to anyone who hasn't experienced it before, but basically it's the most important tradition at my school where the senior class put up the show in a week with all parts kept secret, and on the very night of it, continuous cheering of the underclasswomen deafens you for days. I loved my eccentric role of the Alchemist (a surprise to everyone, I believe)- the feeling of being crazy and letting everything go on stage, plus harassing the audience. Though quite different from the normal theatre productions I've done, Revels is one of the best things I've experienced at my school, and it put me right into the Christmas Spirit.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Jeanette!
ReplyDeleteYour performance of the role of the Alchemist was memorable! What a surprise to see your bubble person as part of the Revels signage this year. Art is everywhere!
