It's Official

Hurrah! The licence for the play arrived from publishers, Samuel French. Which means that we can now officially put the play on. Which is good, given the amount of pre-production work we've done so far...

I also spoke to Claire (props and design) who told me that she thought the play was "fantastic". Not that I can take any credit for the writing, but it's good that people are anticipating a funny and entertaining production already. That should really give it some positive energy.

Rolling on

What with Christmas and New Year and getting ready for this year's Farrago, I've not done as much work on the play as I'd hoped. But most of the background technical stuff is getting done.

Last night I gave copies of the script to Lisel (my assistant director), Lyn (stage manager) and Claire (props and set-design). I need to get a script to Jonathan, our lighting chap and then get a technical team meeting organised for late-January or early-February.

I'm now very happy with the poster - and all the feedback on it has been very useful and encouraging. I'm glad I spent some time doing a re-design.
