On the stageToo shy to ever appear on stage myself, I still hung around theatres like a bad smell when I was younger - lighting and set design were what I was good at.
Backstage we'd attempt to sabotage every production - us lighting geeks would wind up the sound man by putting the remote "pause" button for his reel-to-reel tape machine on his chair, so when he sat down it'd start running, ruining his cues. Actors would do scenes out of order to make our lives hell. It was great and I don't know why I don't still do it.
Tell us your stories of life on the stage.

What part of "I don't want a singing part"do fucking drama teachers NOT understand? I didn't even want to be in the bloody play, they made me, the cunts. I had to sing a bloody song about haircuts.
As a young'un, I was the girl who was always chosen to play a male part. My proudest moment was when I was in Jonah and the Whale, and to act out my "journey" I had to walk around the church, but I got stuck on someone's wheelchair. Then a multicoloured whale swallowed me. How ... dodgy.
