Robert Grove saying "I've got some thoughts on this" changed my life tbh. It's such a perfect blend of pretentiousness and genuine passion and enthusiasm, and that makes it SO applicable to quote before going on an autistic infodump like idk what I would do without that quote.

fuck you all i’m getting back into the shitty bbc show fandoms

[natashasbitxh]

Finally got to see Peter Pan Goes Wrong in West End with Charlie Russell, Matthew Cavendish, Greg Tannahill, Matthew Howell, Harry Kershaw, Clark Devlin, Jamie Birkett, Chris Leask, Ellie Morris, and Jean-Luke Worrell! They were all amazing, I thought I'd share some of my fav bits! (Warning: There's a lot)

• Firstly, programme stuff: the note from the director basically just being Chris and Trevor arguing like a married couple. Chris being too scientific and Trevor having to remind him it's supposed to be festive.

● Them leaving a note asking if anybody was a flying operator as they didn't currently have one😭

• Robert leaving the children of the Cornley Youth Theatre abandoned in a forest with limited food and knives,to prepare for their performance of Lord of the Flies. NSPCC and police had to intervene, 2 of the children are still missing today (Ben McIntyre and Sarah Cordell)

• Jonathon's interview where's he's practically begging the interviewer to take note he was 'fashionably late', when he was actually waiting for 6 hours.

• Jonathon saying (in the interview), he's been focusing on humanitarian work, such as adopting a child from Ethiopia and a child from Vietnam. And then the interviewer just replied with "That is Brad Pitt. Everything you have just said is about Brad Pitt and not yourself."

• In the cast section, Chris Bean writing "I would like to remind my father that there is a spare ticket at the box office for him if he chooses to show up." That's so sad😭

• Trevor's section ended with "trevorzbeatz/YouTube.co.uk" 😭

• Pip (assistant stage manager) just says: "They call me Big Pip up north. Trevor's cousin. Out and about and that. Nice one." Like okay yh me too Big Pip

• They tried to feed the crocodile an alarm clock😭 (RIP Nadia tho😔)

• Annie left a little note saying she's "looking for a man" and then there's some description of what she's (not) looking for

• A page saying welcome to the theatre, but it is still very much in character😭 "Director Chris Bean always fulfils his promise of giving us a show we will remember for a very long time."

•Pre-show antics: one of the assistant stage managers (I'm gonna guess Pip? Not too sure tho) was walking around looking for a hammer. I noticed that he'd act like he was looking around and then when he spotted a child he'd go and ask them. I thought that was cute🥹

• I couldn't see the wires going through the audience cause I had seats up high, but I did see Robert pulling the end of the wire whilst on stage with the help of an audience member

• Dennis was late I think, ran across the stage from the audience with a bag on

• Lucy suddenly ran off stage, Robert not far behind shouting things like "You have to do it!" (And then later on she ran back on stage,but it seemed Robert got caught up in a convo)

• Now onto the actual show, I thought Dennis singing les mis due to his headgear was pretty funny seeing as les mis was about a door or 2 down

• At one point we were clapping for something (can't remember what, but it was during the beginning Darling Family scene), and Max joined in with the clapping. Sandra had to tell him to stop with a pointed glare and a lil hand gesture

• Every appearance with Robert as the shadow was amazing, I know it's simple but I'm always impressed with the rug pull and the way he lands

• During the bit where there's too much smoke and it engulfs the pirates, Trevor comes to the rescue but does hit Chris in the arse by accident, christrev anybody?

• I will forever love Robert trying to get Dennis to pick up the sword, Dennis picking up the boat paddle and Robert going on a rant about how he's been moving his arms for the past 5 mins why would he need the paddle

• During the interval the lights would still go out occasionally, fun touch

• As Jonathan flew up before crashing down, a banner fell down with Robert holding a bean, a reference of his show Jack and the bean

• Before this, I'd only seen the BBC recorded version of Peter Pan Goes Wrong, so I rlly enjoyed the changes. Such as the mermaids, but I RLLY laughed at Robert being the Mr Bumble in Oliver that killed a child. Especially when he went to be Peter Pan before starting to sing 'Food, Glorious Food"

• The whole poison bit was incredible, Harry's improv was on FIRE. We obvs did the traditional pantomime business which made Chris mad, he very much gave teacher vibes as he sat down on the set and said it was our own time we were wasting. He also complained that this was only the matinée and they still had an evening performance to get to. Then he pointed out how somebody in the audience was hissing, "Nobody goes to a show and says 'Yeah it was good but the person in the fourth row wouldn't stop hissing'" (this resulted in a lot of children hissing whenever he appeared on stage). Then when it got to the poison bit, a child was yelling at him to hurry up, causing Chris to go on a rant about how he didn't even want children there, sitting there on their booster seats. After the child yelled at him multiple times, Chris gave up and told the child to open it for him, which they did. Then as he was leaving, we were booing again and he was like "NO NO DONT BOO ME, IT WAS THE CHILD THAT POISIONED HIM." Then as he exited, he said something along the lines of "blame the child murderer." It was insane.

• Then, when Peter asked who would try to poison him, Tink/Annie pointed at the child that opened the bottle. I think Chris Leask actually had to turn his head downwards and to the side to hide his laughing.

• I've pointed this out before, but I'm so endeared with how worried Chris was when Annie was unconscious. HE KNEELED THERE HOVERING OVER HER BODY JUST LIKE TOUCHING HER FACE, NOT SPEAKING FOR AWHILE. Adorable. Every characters reaction was adorable...sorry Annie

• I just have to say Francis' Cabaret performance to distract us from Annie was amazing. Loved the audience clapping along as well and the rest of the cast looking absolutely shocked and confused

• I loved that we heard a whole marriage fall apart through Dennis' headgear. I want to know more abt them, the husband that took over to help Dennis sounded sweet

• When Lucy slid down the ship in her wheelchair she was flung out and then caught by Trevor in a sort of bear hug, Lucy's legs wrapped around his torso. Trevor was SEVERELY judging the cast HE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THEM. They're besties ur honour, I thought it was so cute

• Loved Francis' Cabaret performance again during the big fight scene with the set moving.

• Trevor saying something like "You've got to be joking" when Lucy picked up the book 😭

• I wanted to scream laugh at Chris lying in the bed like an ill victorian child as Lucy closed up the story, and then Dennis choosing to lie on the squished bottom bunk

• As Lucy continued to read, Chris, Sandra, Trevor, Dennis, and Max were all checking up on one another in the background. Hugs, shoulder grabs. Guys, I love Sandra and Chris' dynamic so much, Sandra was making sure he got off the bed alright and then gave him a hug

• Of course the whole end song, Max as the crocodile encouraging us to clap

It was so amazing, everybody was fantastic!! My jaw still aches from laughing so hard! Hope ppl found this interesting cause I always love when other ppl share what happened during their show😭

[sapphic-songbird]

Idk how I've never seen this but oh my god is Chris okay????

I thought as a fandom we made up his parents being shit, kinda like we extrapolated it from the "Raymond Bean Racist??" Thing but I didn't realize they were like- cannonically shitty Jesus fuck lmao

[hellorhighrollers]

PINNED

hi! i'm lotte, and this is my (side) blog for all things theatre!

PSA: i am NOT the official hell or high rollers account (although i am a mod on their discord), the user was just available haha

about me:

i’m lotte (no it’s not short for anything), and i’m an 18 year old actress from the uk! i love all types of theatre please talk to me about anything of the sort

my favourite actor is nathan lane, and my top 5 favourite musicals are anything goes, the frogs, operation mincemeat, hamilton, and beetlejuice!

i’m a massive fan of mischief theatre and all their projects, and that will therefore be the main focus of this blog <3

[sapphic-songbird]

The idea that Chris was a medical student is insane to me and Ill never stop thinking about it.

I personally have no fuckin clue what a speculum is but the idea of Chris having been going after a really intense/academic degree really hits for me

Why does Chris Bean care so much about the proper use and handling of speculums? Was he a medical student at Cornley? Did he research it for a script or part? Or is he just That Extra as to simply be pedantic about something he doesn't care about?

Did he learn from taking Cornley to the A&E so many times? What the hell was wrong with the patient that they died from having simply not having an orifice examined? Did they have something in their throat that impedes breathing? How do you pick up a speculum with two hands like he demonstrates? Many many questions.

[the-irrelevant-trumpeter]

i’m back again, making polls to see what the opinions are on cornley headcanons

so obviously max and sandra get engaged in accgw, but after that, we have no canon info about whether they got married, and if they did, when they did it. so now i want to know

please tell me in the tags as well, also feel free to add any specific headcanons you have

Introducing the cornley drama society as things said in my debate club part 2 because none of you can escape me

Chris: no that's murder!

Robert: ah but in what context?

Chris: taking a human life!?

Trevor: how can you be seduced ?

Chris:...no

Annie: what- what are you doing?

Vanessa, curled in the tightest ball she can on the floor: I'm trying to be my own weighted blanket

Max: I'm gonna go eat glitter

Sandra: please no its only 8:49 am

Vanessa, on the verge of tears: I'm here and nothing good has ever happened to me

Robert: I think could only fight two old men at once, but I could probably fight 4 children

Jonathan: well I think that depends on how you define old men and children

Chris: And I think I don't want to be a part of this conversation

Max: I think that went well! You know we all did the best we could and I'm proud of us.

Annie and Trevor: *start laughing*

Trevor: you know I was starting to hope we could all come together to make one functioning person but we've failed at even that.

Chris: it's a miracle were not all dead.

Dennis, being 100% genuine: maybe we already are.

Chris, too tired to correct him: ...yeah perhaps.

[sapphic-songbird]

Jesus it’s been a while.

I sorta put my fanfic on the back burner for a bit while working on some other projects (i spent a lot of time working on cast gifts etc for the cast of PPGW in LA!!! They were all lovely!!) but now I’m back at it and will HOPEFULLY (no promises) be updating more consistently, so here is the new chapter!!! Sorry it took so long!!!!

[sapphic-songbird]

You know your way too into something when every song you hear is suddenly about it. Like I was listening to Cardigan and that song is so Sandra/Max with a side of the Jonathan drama I cannot

"I knew you, tried to change the ending peter loosing Wendy"

"Chase two girls, loose the one"

Idk it just feels very them to me

[sapphic-songbird]

Yall send me some of ur widest out of context cornleyverse screen caps for me to send to my friend who's never seen any mischief content
