Wot, No Photos?  Inexplicably, no photographs were taken of this production so you've got nothing to look at. Well, there's the ticket!

Was I In That One?  An advert in the Hull Daily Mail resulted in loads of new members, so we continued the Chameleon Players policy of throwing them in at the deep end. Apart from Ailsa, most of our experienced members had little more than walk-on parts. But as Frank and Helene conducted their epistolary relationship by spouting great reams of dialogue at the audience, the rest of the characters were glorified extras anyway. Some were more extra than others; Val had to wait the entire length of the play to come on and make one short speech.

Director's Commentary  My feelings on this are still unprintable - what I think of that twit-faced, backstabbing, bloated egomaniac (and I’ve cleaned that up considerably). However, my thoughts on the cast are the same – fantastic. Ailsa broke my heart every night and I still get teary-eyed thinking about it. Looking back maybe I should have stood up for myself and the cast and told Brian that he wasn’t actually directing anything but that bloody fan he waved about and then carried on without him – never mind it all came out well in the end!

Quote, Unquote  I did love being in this one, although there were some stressful rehearsals when certain cast members didn't turn up and no-one knew where they were, and when the director (er, not you Helen) and the cast..... how shall I put it?.... didn't see eye to eye. Learning the monologues was a challenge, as was doing my best with an American accent Ailsa
I turned up to a few rehearsals to see Brain waving his fan about, saying how bored he was with directing and leaving all the actual directing to Helen. THEN, after the performances had been so successful, he was swanning around the dressing room talking about "his" actors and "his" production. So, nice play, shame about the prancing prima donna David
Good performances but very long play. Thumbs up to Helen and the cast for hard work under severe pressure Sharon
