malltI really wasn't sure about volunteering at the CPO last night but I'm glad I did. The show wasn't what I was expecting but I enjoyed myself... there was much more humour in it, I expected it to be all serious!
What I definitely wasn't expecting was the reaction to us dressed in garb & wondering round in the crowd... yes I expected people to look but when we went up a floor to do a circuit it felt like everyone turned to look at us... it's certainly not something I could have done as easily a few years ago!
I don't know about the others but milord & I had lots of people come up & compliment us on our "costumes"... which was kinda nice seeing as I was wearing the very first garb I ever made... the bi-coloued blue silk noile t-tunic dress I made for Beltaine a fair few years ago now! ;)
Many assumed we were actors from the show (actually nobody in the show was dressed in garb, one of the things that surprised me), others just thought we'd decided to dress like that because we were coming to watch the show (like dressing up to see the Rocky Horror Show?!) & a few stopped us and actually asked! I had one couple who are interested in coming out to play, so I gave them details for Tavern & we'll see if they show up!
*edit*
One thing that was a little odd... there was lots of references to St. George, him being the patron saint of England & the show being about the English fighting the Saxons... So why have the show on St. David's day?... Why not have it on St. Georges day (April 23rd)? It was just a little strange seeing English rather than Welsh flags being waved... *sigh*
