Stay positive, Sid, will you please?‘ implored 1 Candy on a long, controlled out-breath.
Gary continued. "Remember, keep it fresh, stay connected, keep it lively, say the lines
like it‘s the first time and most importantly of all, don’t let the audience intimidate 2 or goad
you in any way. Interaction is great. Retaliation is not. Don‘t let them rile you. Don‘t give
them that satisfaction. Fifteen minutes, please!‘ and with that Gary closed the dressing 3 room
door on them, like a jailor.
Sid began his nightly warm-up now, a murmured incantation of I-hate-this-job-I-hate-this-job. Beyond him sat Kwame, topless and forlorn in tattered 4 trousers, hands jammed in
his armpits, head lolling back, meditating or trying not to cry perhaps. On Emma‘s left,
Candy sang songs from Les Miserables in a light, flat soprano, picking at the hammer toes
she‘d got from eighteen years of ballet. Emma turned back to her reflection in the cracked
mirror, plumped up the puffed 5 sleeves of her Empire line dress, removed her spectacles and
gave a Jane Austen sigh.
