Goodbye to the Fabrik !

I may have seemed overly enthusiastic yesterday about The Fabrik. I guess the vip treatment and the perks got the better of me; Overall our shows there (last one this morning) have suffered from the fact that this space is only used for concert at nights. The skylight completely blew away any intentions of making the same kind of magic as we do in normal theatres. This has been slightly better at night, although the very small stage has meant improvising and cutting where needed.
As it is already hard enough to draw in a audience of reluctant teenagers (and these do make out the main body of our audience) in a normal theatre, it has been nigh impossible to create the same sort of enchantment during our day performances there.
So our day performances at the Fabrik have definitely felt as if we were selling the same product to people but without all the nice packaging.

The night performances have been better, that said the audience has also been more adult. I guess everything was redeemed today as we got our free ticket for tonight’s concert with Chuck Berry! (Yes I am easily bought!) . And to finish it all off we added to the graffiti and left our mark on the changing room wall (see above pick) and who knows….Maybe Chuck Berry knows the story and will notice it and ask us round for drinks…..

But for now it’s the week-end in Hamburg...
