[Havell]

That's me waving a flag and dying towards the end of my school's prodcution of Les Miserable (incredible musical!). I'm chuffed with that part, I cant sing so my usefulness in a musical is somewhat compromised. My job consisted mainly of standing at the front during chorus scene and acting. My big piece de resistance was at the last stand of the revolutionaries at the barricade, I stand on top of the barricade defiantly waving the big red flag while the fighting happens around me before being shot and collapsing, with the flag trapped under me, drapped artfully over the barricade. By this time, everyone else is dead, and all the lights fade, except a spotlight on me, which slowly fades away a few seconds later (the technical crew didn't actually warn me they'd be doing this, I only found out after the second night, when someone mentioned it to me).

It was one of the best plays I've ever been in, if you ever get the chance to see it or be in it, I really advise that you do.
