The Gallery – New – Rubber Gloves

rubber gloves

The theme for this week’s Gallery is ‘new’ and the photo above shows my new rubber gloves. Not any run of the mill rubber gloves, mind you. These were given to me last night as a gift from the director of our local production of Acorn Antiques, The Musical. 


For those of you who didn’t catch my previous post, I’ve been fortunate enough to land the role of the infamous Mrs Overall in this amateur production which will be performed at the South Holland Centre, Spalding, in May. Mrs Overall was played by Julie Walters in the original sketches in Victoria Wood: As Seen On TV and also in the musical version. I have big shoes to fill, or rather, carpet slippers, a pinny, hairnet. and Marigolds.

New gloves for my new role which began last night with our first rehearsal. The script is a joy, the rest of the cast are fantastic and I think the next few months are going to be a blast.

Wish me luck!

    Goodness! I had no idea there were 'designer' rubber gloves. Mrs Overall would be VERY jealous!

      In the show Mrs O does get to wear a glitzy version of her usual uniform in the finale – still not in the least bit attractive though!

      Thank you Michelle. I think I will be going on about it over the next few months and annoying everyone!

    That's what I call rubber gloves!

      They fit lovely too!

      I could tell as soon as I saw the photo that they would fit like a glove.

    Wow how exciting. Good luck!

      Half of me wants to run away and hide…but yes, it's quite exciting!

    Do you have the dates for the actual performances yet? I could treat my wife to a weekend away and the theatre (at considerably less than West End prices)!

    • Trish Burgess Reply

      Poor Mrs Troy, could be deprived of a fancy weekend in the capital.

      21 – 25 May!

    I think I must have a hygiene fetish… those gloves have given me a hot flush.

    • Trish Burgess Reply

      Calm yourself, Steve.
      I refuse to touch anything unsavoury without my hands in my Marigolds (and that's not a line from the show).

    Fabulous rubber gloves! Enjoy – sounds fun!

      I will! Need to start learning my lines.

    Mrs Overall!!! Great fun. Though that walk's going to be a killer….

    • Trish Burgess Reply

      You're not wrong, Macy – even practising at home, my neck and shoulders are aching.

    Love those gloves. I quite often hand them out as gifts when I'm stuck for an idea. Everyone loves to have them!

    • Trish Burgess Reply
      17/01/2013 at 8:01 am

      These were a bargain. Only £2 – in the sale!

    Good luck with the role – funky gloves!! x

    • Trish Burgess Reply

      I think normal yellow Marigolds should be nice and long like these – good for plunging into the washing up bowl without getting a soggy sleeve.

    Sounds like great fun. The gloves are perfect. 🙂

      I always enjoyed the TV sketches in the 1980s so it's fab to be involved in this production.

      I'm a fan of rubber gloves at the best of times – but do like the cuffs on these 😉

    Those gloves are just perfect! Good luck, good luck, and oh – good luck! 🙂

    You will look rather fetching in those!
    By the way, I hope all this rehearsing will help with your next job as Bon Jovi's backing singer (no, I have not forgotten!)… xx

    • Trish Burgess Reply

      When Bon Jovi gets to see me in my surgical stockings and hairnet he'll be on the phone to his agent in a jiffy.

    Brings back wonderful memories of my student days when I had black washing up rubber gloves with leopard skin and diamantes. Needless to say those beauties did not get used as much as they should have. Good luck with the role – very exciting!

    • Trish Burgess Reply
      19/01/2013 at 2:48 pm

      But, Jody, there's so much fun to be had with diamante-studded rubber gloves which doesn't even involve a bowl of dishwater.

    I recently recall you getting a pair of rubber gloves by being a top blogger. I am seeing a pattern, a cunning plan to pretend to be a blogger, a starring off-Broadway actress in order to feed a rubber glove fetish.

    • Trish Burgess Reply
      20/01/2013 at 11:27 am

      Haha! Do you know, I wondered if anyone would remember that photo of me wearing the rubber gloves from the MAD awards….and you did! I think you have me well and truly sussed.
