I’ve moved out and moved on many times but some things seem to stick around in boxes no matter what. One of those things is my notebook from Drama School. Yes I had just one – I don’t seem to remember there being a lot to write down…
This though is the first page of several directions for the basic stage fighting exam that we did. I think it was the only subject I did an external exam for while there (although I also did the advanced one). It was great fun – if you want to try it out you’ll need to know that the V column is the Villain and H is for Hero. Then T=Thrust, Py=Parry, S=Sword and D=Dagger and you’ll need to dig out a couple of rapiers and daggers.
Oh, and take extreme caution “I’ve seen an eyeball on the end of one of these”
Here’s me practicing at home…
