Holden recently surprised us - and himself - by auditioning for the 6th class play and getting a major role. Last night was opening night, and here I caught him racing down the corridor, before the show, looking for his trooper's hat ... It's the only photo I got, and I am slightly disconcerted by his resemblance to George Harrison on the cover of Sergeant Pepper's.
The play was an adaptation of Randolph Stow's Midnite and was surprisingly (for a kids' play) enjoyable. I'm not sure he's going to grow up to be Richard Burton, but he remembered his lines and got plenty of laughs (where he was supposed to). We were there, plus his best uncle and his paternal grandparents - and we all went out for pasta afterwards, so it was a lovely evening.
Phoebe loved it, but her favourite bit was where he appeared in a fairy godmother outfit. Hmmm.
Young Miss herself gets her big appearance later this year, when her school choir is going to perform (with lots of others) at the Opera House, no less.
