Yesterday, I agreed to fill in for a drop out and appear in a play. It opens the 25th of June and I have to memorize 1/3 of the 57 page play. No worries! 'Specially since my character can't stay on topic. His first bit is 5 and 1/2 pages long. I am an eejit and the Irish say. Oh did I mention it's a Brian Friel play and set in Ballybeg, Donegal so I have to pass for a mick.

It's called and about Molly Sweeney, a woman blind since early childhood and who just underwent surgery to restore her sight and I am to be the husband, Frank, it's told in monologue so it should be interesting. See this link for more info http://www.guthrietheater.org/pdf/molly.pdf on the play and the writer.
