The cast of the Liberation of the Ministry held their first read through this afternoon. I did not audition myself (being very aware of looming N.E.W.T.s), but I came to hear the first rehearsal, partly out of curiosity and partly to show support (my girlfriend Penelope Clearwater has been heavily involved in the planning stages and will be acting as the stage manager). Of course our students are novice actors, and some are better than others, but the seed of something quite splendid is there, I think. Karoline, Penny and the rest of the planning team were quite relieved and excited afterward.
Naturally, the students are also all quite inspired by the fact that we feel so privileged to be depicting such stirring and pivotal events in our history.
