My Costume

My costume has a tank top that looks like it's made of woven cloth with a sweater on top of it. The sweater is called a jumper because this is an English play. I have what looks like normal shorts except that one of the pant legs has a rip in it. My socks are just normal grey socks and my shoes are black leather. It is interesting that wardrobe puts wax on the bottoms of the shoes so that during the rain scene, the shoes don't get completely soaked. My costume makes me look like I am a boy from the 1940s.

Aksel's Latest Show

Last week I started another show. The name of the play is An Inspector Calls. It is at the Shakespeare Theatre Company and it is a play for grownups. It is about an inspector who tells a family that a girl has killed herself on her way to the infirmary, and he asks the family questions about whether they know her.

My role is the Older Boy. I am mean and my clothes and face are dirty. My main scene is in the first part of the show.

Sometimes sitting off stage is boring. I have a long break during the show. I wait in the green room and dressing room number two. I play games, eat snacks and just hang out.

I think being in the play is a lot of fun.
