This is the first time that I have attempted to produce two shows at the same time. It has its own challenges.

Hard Times is - obviously - a show on a larger scale than Bells of Santiago (which is ironic in itself, as its charm is its seeming off the cuff theatricality) but even then it has been great just getting people together.

Since last we posted, we have got our team of creatives together, we have cast the show, we have printed the posters and are putting the finishing touches to the promo...watch this space!

So: the cast is Non Haf and Vern Griffiths, with Sonia and myself. We have Joe Harmston as director and Sean Cavanagh as designer. Tic Ashfield is composing the music, Daniel Taylor is designing the lights and Tony Davies the sound. Finally, but in NO way least, Lisa Briddon will be the DSM - looking forward to the adventure now...
