#Fowc #Debut
Salford 24th September 2019
You studied for three years for this
learning your trade from masters of the craft
reading from renown writers
and really digging in to the character of your role
Arrived at the set early
the place a hive of activity
your director goes through the script
with you and your fellow cast members
The ghosts of Olivier and Guilgud
watch in reverent observance
as make up artists prepare you
for your premiere performance
Final preparations
on location
crew checking site
for every eventuality
And as the spotlights fall
And cameras roll – under directors word
You give your immortal line –
“Do you want fries with that ?”
