Memories of Alnwick

Joe Herzberg ’00, Minneapolis, Alnwick 1997-98

During our time in Alnwick there was a film crew working at the castle. They were shooting the movie Elizabeth. Some of us were hired as extras for a crowd scene. They dressed us up in peasant clothes and covered all of our piercings with make-up. We spent a good eight hours in the field behind the castle that day. We cheered for two minutes and then sat for twenty. Cheered for two, sat for twenty. Screamed, "You filthy swine!" and sat for twenty. When we were filming a scene at the gate they told us not to talk because our American accents were ruining the takes. After all of our hard work they cut both of the scenes we were in. The only good that came from it was some really good pictures of me in tights.
