Tama Barry's Romeo and Juliet tour blog - week 5, Belfast

  
Tama Barry on the last week of the Romeo and Juliet tour.
Sun glorious sun: finally the weather is brightening! I left my flat in Glasgow to head to the airport under the dazzling glare of a long lost friend, the sun.
We are off to Belfast today. The flight is like being shot across the sea by rubber band airlines - I had no idea we were so close! Arriving, the weather was just as nice, so after getting settled in my digs, I was off to explore the city. This is my third time here but the other two times have been in winter, which is not so conducive to exploration.
 
And so the last week begins, always a bit of a confusing time the last week. I feel excited to be moving on to the next challenge - we have now been doing the same thing, including rehearsals, for eleven weeks! - but at the same time, I am loath to leave behind such great characters and a gorgeous ballet. 
 
The theatre here is very interesting. It is quite similar to Aberdeen in size, but here they have flattened out the rake. The auditorium is quite spectacular with a distinctly colonial India styled theme. And the audiences have been amazing, such a warm welcome. So here we have come to the end. Hopefully we have touched some hearts and entertained you all and we definitely look forward to seeing you again in the Autumn.
