'Keep Calm' - Opening Night

I confess I'm a little nervous, as tonight is the opening night of our play - one of two that Cubbington Players are putting on this October.  I feel a little out of practice as the panto was 9 months ago now, and although I was involved in the May production I wasn't actually on stage.  What seems to be making me feel worse is that I've got 2 friends coming along to see this one as well - no pressure then!
Luckily I have one of the smaller roles in 'Keep Calm', as this is technically my first production as an adult, or at least one that doesn't involve either custard pies or generally acting the fool.  I play the part of Mary Grant - a not dissimilar character to Sybil Fawlty, who leaves her husband in charge of looking after the household and baby while she goes out for lunch. 
Apart from the fretting and fidgeting before my exit, in contrast to my character when I do finally leave 'for lunch' I can quietly relax back stage while all hell breaks loose, and prepare for my emotional outburst at the end... it promises to be quite something.
