Smile, Mercury

20/11/2016

Tonight I sat through a not so great documentary supposedly honouring Freddie's memory. In actual fact is was 2 hours of people loosely connected to him talking about how he was once confirmed to be HIV positive. Now this is exactly the reason I originally decided to write this play. As much as it is incredibly imported to remember why Freddie died, (which is why any money I make during this process is going to MERCURY PHOENIX TRUST) it is equally as important to remember who he actually WAS. His sexuality and illness was not who he was completely and did not 100% define a solid portion of his life. He lived an incredibly full life even before Queen. So my story, hopefully, tells that story in a much more respectful way than this channel 5 documentary just did. My actors are certainly better anyway.
Please join us on 22nd November to truly remember and honour Freddie's life and success, 2 days before the 25th year of him not being around.

On the 24th of November it will be 25 years since Freddie Mercury passed, just 2 days after our show. So help us honour Freddie's memory and raise money for the charity set up in his memory by booking your tickets for the performance on the 22nd November and coming a long to our Fundraiser this Friday! My biggest aim throughout all of this process is to make sure that Freddie's memory is honoured. Much love 🌹👄

Nearly cast all of the speaking parts in the show, just looking to cast ONE more. The role of Roger Taylor is still available.
I am holding a short workshop tomorrow at 11 am in D17 for anyone who is interested in either this role or being a part of the ensemble which is an equally important part in the show as any of the speaking roles. Message me for more details about the show and tomorrow if you're interested. Please share this guys! Many thanks.
PS! I will be posting some fun fundraiser ideas here soon to gauge the response from everyone. Much love 👄🚬

Hi guys, so sorry to keep posting here but could everyone who is seriously interested and will definitely be coming to the auditions/workshop on Wednesday please "like" this or give me a message privately as soon as you can. This is so I can judge how many copies of the scenes I need to print out in order to make sure all groups have a copy of the scene they wish to work on. Many thanks once again,
Chloe 👄
