POHEM ABOUT THE CONDAs (City of Newcastle Drama Awards)

ISN’T IT GREAT TO WIN A CONDA?

By Denise Gold aged 27 ¾. Again.

 

Isn’t it great to win a CONDA?

Isn’t it grand to be on show?

The face paint, the spotlights

The costumes, the applause

I want to own a CONDA

Not just take a look at yours

Hey!

Isn’t it great to win a CONDA?

A cabinet all gleaming full of gold

You learn your lines & focus

And you give it all you’ve got

I want to own a CONDA

Just to prove I’m smokin’ hot!

So tell your friends & family from the rooftops

“I wanna win a CONDA” yes I do

I’ll polish it at night time & keep it sparkling clean

And I’ll take care of my CONDA trophy too

Wow!

Isn’t it great to win a CONDA?

Isn’t it divine to be a star?

The companies, rehearsals

The chorus line of folk

I want to own a CONDA

If it sends me bloody broke

Isn’t it great to win a CONDA?

Isn’t it elite to say you’ve won?

The wings of glass are subtle

And the golden shaft is grand

I want to own a CONDA

See it resting in my hand

So tell your friends on Facebook & on Twitter

I wanna win a CONDA yes I do

I’ll practise if it kills me, & I’ll dance until I’m trim

Behind my hands I’ll whisper ‘why’d they give them all to him?’

I’ll cross rough seas to get one & I’ll ignore every whim

Each obstacle before me will be met with a firm chin

If I have to spend 4 hours daily in the local gym

Ken Longworth, hear my plea because my chance is looking slim

The theatre tree is healthy but I’m hanging by a limb

So join with me in voice & let’s all sing the CONDA hymn

I won’t rest until I get one

I just really, really want one

I’m just desperate for a CONDA ballyhoo!

Well what a fun time was had by all at the City Of Newcastle Drama Awards last Friday night. I have only just managed to get out of bed - party party party!!!

My daughter (at least I THINK she's mine...you can never tell these days!) Goldriana was my glamorous assistant - here she is with me in dressing room 1 - naturally!

Ignore the wig conditioner on the bench - we don't know WHY our hairdresser Miss Nellie brought that with her! Must have been for her own 'do.

Enjoy!
