Everybody love Noddle-Pete

If there is one character every viewer love in our play, it's absolutely Noddle-Pete, old and wise member of Matt's gang of robbers. Like Thuesday when a little girl ask throught the whole play about Noddle-Pete, and even after it she ask from other members of cast, where he was. Ooow.
   I'm not quit sure, what makes him so popular. Mayde it's the appearence.

Our Noddle-Pete

Ready, set, ACT!

It's again that same time of year when my senior high's theater group start its massive show session.Today was our first show, to elementary students. Tomorrow is other show to upper comprehensive students and in the evening first to paying audience.
   Ronia the Robber's Daughter clearly appeal to kids: they sat a hour and half quietly and still. And that's a lot. Apparently when there's enough board, masks and facepaint, it bluffs enough that they didn't even notice our failures.

Because there aren't at least so far any pictures or videos about the play, you can admire our previous play, Vahvat juuret. In this clip two rally fans teach to foreigner few swear words. It's placed EK Myhinpää, a real local rally race.

If you're interested, there's my free translation:

Guy without a cap: "EK MYHINPÄÄ! EK MYHINPÄÄ!"
Guy with a cap: "MIKKO HIRVONEN! MIKKO HIRVONEN!"
(Hirvonen is a rally driver)
Woman: (in English) "Excuse me? Excuse me? Can you tell me, where is the start area?"
Guy without a cap: (in English) "W-what? (now in Finnish) I didn't understand. Say again."
Woman: (in English) "Sorry, I don't speak any Finnish. Star area on this expecial state?"
Guy with a cap: (in English) "Neste Rally Finland! (now in Finnish) We're rally people. Say 'perkele'!" (Perkele is a Finnish swore word, meaning mostly 'damn')
Woman: (in English) "What? Perkele? Which way?"
Guy without a cap: (in Finnish) "Shut up! I try to help this lady. As long as I would understand, what it wants."
Guy with a cap: (in Finnish) "Then help if you can! PERKELE!"
Woman: (in English) "Perkele? This way? OK."
Guy without a cap: (in English) "My telephone number...!"
(Then start to play Rauli Badding Somerjoki's Bensaa suonissa (Petrol in your veins))
