Oh yes she was..

Amateur dramatics is a weird, weird thing.
We went to watch Hannah’s panto on Friday and it was a mixture of great enthusiasm, poorly-painted sets and terrible jokes. I have to say it was good fun, and it was very strange to see a character on stage who looked exactly like my sister but acted very differently. She was sweet, and charming, and very un-Hannah-like, which I suppose is the point when you’re an actor.
Nathan looked prouder than a father-of-the-bride and a first-time-father combined.
Philippa said “she was really, really good wasn’t she?“ and as much as it might pain me to say it, she was. Don’t get me wrong, she’s not going to challenge for the Oscars, but she was a damn sight better than I expected her to be.
And, both up on stage and chatting in the bar afterwards, she looked very, very happy.
Good for you, Hannah.
