Cagebirds

Last weekend I went to Belfast to see my sister Rose. But this wasn’t just the usual catchup. She was going to acting in play called Cagebirds at the Southbank Playhouse. The story of six birds locked in a cage by their mistress for their own good. Then a new bird, The Wild One, is added to the mix. From the outset this new bird is not happy and begs the other birds to join her in a grand escape.

I’ll say no more….

My sister Rose was cast as ‘The Wildone’. Otherwise known as ‘the stroppy one’. She wont mind me saying that either. She was perfect.

I took my camera along and was able to get some shots during their rehearsals.

Congratualtions to everyone involved in the play. It was excellent and I even knew a few people who stayed for the second show to enjoy it all over again!

Thanks to Martin Toland for allowing me to come along with my camera. Looking forward to seeing what you can all come up with next.
