So, the call came yesterday evening for a casting this afternoon. A bit short notice, but hey! that’s the way the business rolls, I suppose. As always the butterflies are fluttering at the thought of it, but that’s all part of it, too.
Here I am, still waiting for my ‘big break’. At my age! The trouble is that very few – for that read none – directors/casting directors are willing to take a chance with older actresses who have limited CVs. I mean, if they want large comedy actress they’ll go with Dawn French or Caroine Quentin. Boo hoo!
All I want is a chance.
I WANT TO BE THE COOK IN A PERIOD DRAMA!! Universe are you listening? I’m placing my cosmic order.
Okay?
But today’s audition is not for a cook in a period drama. It’s for a zombie..
