Well, I don’t think we can really believe it but Cannibal! is really here, opening tonight to the public and from what we can see in the booking office it looks like there’ll be people there as well! Bookings look optimistic for the week – we’ve been covered in the local and regional press, or “severed hand” press packs resulted in a radio interview with Beat 102-103 FM on Monday evening which ran regularly throughout the day yesterday. We’re also appearing in studio this morning in KCLR, collecting the programmes from the printers, organising late leaflet drops, more posters than you can shake a stick at and all to be done for the cast and crew call at 6pm this evening.To all of you attending tonight’s performance we welcome you to The Devious Theatre Company and to the Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny. This is our first production in Kilkenny’s biggest theatre (having previously used Cleere’s Theatre) and certainly won’t be our last if we’ve anything to do with it.

If you are working in an Irish theatre yourself we’d love to talk to you about touring possibilities as we arrange our touring calendar for 2008, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

We look forward to seeing you tonight, if you want to drop around side stage afterwards and meet a few of the actors, get some autographs (we’re a right cheeky bunch aren’t we) or just offer your thoughts on the production then we’d love to hear from you as well! To all who have been involved to date, to our advertising sponsors and everyone who has been working around the clock on Cannibal! The Musical! we thank you – but we’re only just getting started
