Limerick Youth Theatre
Missed my usual class with the 1st year students of the Limerick Youth Theatre to take place in a film by the 2nd years. I was to play the mother in the piece - a task I took not to be derogitory even though my on screen daughter was played by a 17 year old! I didnt get my script till just before we started filming so have little time to learn my lines or to worry too much. I had three sceans one a mother daugher moment, another in a doctors office discussing my daughters condition and medication and the thrid in a hospital waiting room which involoved me crying - a difficult proposition when you have only been an actress for an hour! Once I put aside my inital nervousness and fear of forgetting my lines it wasnt too bad and I actually quite enjoyed it but im sure i'll cring at my not so oscar provoking performance when i see it!
