Like Doctor Who, the detective bee in our play has become a character that regenerates every so often, with a new actor taking over the role.<\/p>\n

Swift recap of all the casting drama for newbies (if you’ve heard it all before, skip to PART 2.<\/span>). I \u00a0was meant to be playing Sophie Bee (as well as writing the script) but a car knocked me off my bike on the way to rehearsals, breaking my shoulder. So Gemma our director stood in for my role for the first part of our tour.<\/p>\n

PART 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve just recast the role so that Gemma Fairlie (Sophie Bee #2) can resume full time directing of the show.<\/p>\n

So, with great pleasure and excitement I’d like to announce that the new Sophie Bee (#3) is the lovely Elinor Keber, who impressed us at the original auditions back in February. I am looking forward to seeing what she makes of the intrepid bee detective and self-nominated ‘best waggle dancer IN THE WORLD’.<\/p>\n

Gemma Fairlie – second regeneration of the Dt. Bee who gained a following of beestung fans with her performances.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Elinor is cramming lines and will rehearse the role before our Alnwick dates<\/a> in Northumberland (13-15 July).<\/p>\n

Inother newz, we had a great time at Unity Festival last month and loved the Cardiff audiences! Thanks Wales xxx<\/p>\n

After Alnwick we come to London for nine shows over a weekend at Southbank Centre (30 Aug\/1-2 Sept). I’ll be putting in an appearance on a panel discussion on 30 August at 2pm. Looking forward to sitting next to some \u00a0VERY impressive artists. More on that in my next blog.<\/p>\n

I was also excited to see one of my honeybee experts has a new book out called The Urban Beekeeper.<\/a>\u00a0Steve Benbow has been a great supporter and mentor in the script writing process.<\/p>\n
