more we rehearsed the play the more I realised what a
desperately sad story it was, something I hadn’t really
grasped when I first read it. A real roller coaster of
emotions from the flirtatious beginning to the terrible
conclusion.
From the first meeting, to the
last performance, it was a real pleasure and taking into
account it was a tragic play, that speaks volumes about everyone involved.
Working so closely with people you naturally form a bond, but for me, this
went beyond that.
A group of people, who could, laugh at themselves one minute
without fear of humiliation or feeling they were out of their comfort zone
and be so professional the next. It's been an experience I shall never
forget and the measure for me, of just how good it's been, is the sadness I
experienced at the end. Who said you can't have too much of a good thing? Stan
This was my first production (and hopefully not the last) with Chameleon's
and I really loved every minute. I have been made to feel very welcome
which made things much easier for me. Every member of the cast and
crew of Miss Julie have been wonderful and made for an
enjoyable and entertaining experience. We all worked so hard at every rehearsal and the final production was very successful! I enjoyed playing the part
of Miss Julie, it was very much a challenge. I would not say I
found it easy to relate to her as she was
such a complicated character, full of emotion, anger and hatred but in
contrast there was a sensitivity about her. It's not everyday I get
to order someone to kiss my shoe! I also
felt a real sense of loss the day after we finished the play which says an awful
lot about the relationships and bonds that were formed in this team.
So a great BIG thank you and well done to you all, I really have enjoyed this
experience Clare
This was the most relaxed Chameleons
production I have ever been involved with - a small cast and a long rehearsal
period definitely helped and I would certainly recommend it for future
productions! I quite liked my character, Kristin. Although not without her flaws, compared to
the other two she was a model of decorum! Thoroughly enjoyed the rehearsals - we had a lot more laughs than
you might expect given the subject matter - and the performances were a breeze.
Even when things didn't quite go to plan - well, you try putting on a bow
tie on someone without your glasses on - we managed to ad lib round it,
something I've never been particularly good at in the past. It just goes to show
what knowing the play inside out, and knowing you can rely on your fellow actors,
can do for your confidence! Miranda
When David invited me to take the part of a "roistering peasant", I took the
role very seriously. I bought myself a crate of Guinness and
began
practicing, with great determination to get it right. On a more serious
note, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed working with the Chameleons
again. I have been greatly impressed by the performances of the rest of
the cast Mike
It was great to be part of Miss
Julie and to see the phenomenal performances of Stan,
Clare and Miranda. It was also nice to have been part of
the comic relief. Honest, any excuse to sing a bit or do
my drunk act is always welcomed. Great fun and very
relaxed and enjoyable rehearsals Ray
A first class production with stunning performances from Clare, Stan and
Miranda. Fantastic audiences for all three nights. Considering
Strindberg is not exactly a barrel of laughs, we did have a lot of fun in
rehearsals but in true Chameleon fashion, the end product was truly
professional and a credit to all involved. Great stuff! Betty
