bunny on the boards

i've always been a bit stage-struck, but there aren't many roles for rabbits... there's the lead in harvey, of course, but since he's invisible that's not really a part that's going to get you noticed...

i did a short summer season in brighton with mr punch and mrs judy - a very famous husband and wife theatrical team, but frankly it was a nightmare: mr punch braining everyone with his stick, a control freak of a copper who kept clobbering everyone in sight with his truncheon...


there was also a ghastly baby who kept yelling and screaming (which wasn't too surprising since mr punch kept tossing him off the stage), sausages for dinner every single day and a very scary crocodile - heaven knows what was a cocodile was doing in brighton - who kept sneaking up behind members of the cast and putting his great toothy jaws round their heads... It was very unnerving - especially as he'd obviously never heard of mouthwash...
