Le Petit Prince...followed by CHUCK BERRY ?!
Hello again!
Iam sitting in the backstage area of The Fabrik in Hamburg. The walls are completely covered with grafitti...not a very nice sight normally if it weren't for the fact that the people who have been writting on the wall are for eksample: Spyro Gyra, Mezzoforte, Aimee Mann, The Ethiopians....all bands that have played here..for the Fabrik is one of Hamburgs oldest Rock Venues..strange place to stage a play I hear you say..well it certainly has its difficulties : a small stage, and no blackout possibillities during our daytime shows, and very hot Rock lamps..( for those who are technically minded I can tell you that theatres use slightly different lamps from Rock venues, basically rock concerts are always lit from behind on stage ) but anyway, let's look at the perks: I am sat in the same dressing room a
s Chuck Berry will be sat in tomorrow ! Yes that's right ..my claim to fame..so far..we are getting free drinks ( non alcoholic ) in a fridge backstage and fresh coffe and croissants in the morning ...Who said rockn' roll was all about drugs and sex? And the final perk: we got free tickets to see Chuck Berry tomorrow how cool is that !? He is playing here tomorrow evening. If you want to find out more about the place go tohttp://www.fabrik.de/en/fabrik/ .
So although we have had to amend the show for our daylight audiences, the one evening show we had last night was good and the audience was very responsive.
