Director's Commentary  I can't praise the cast highly enough. They wisecracked their way through rehearsals, took on a seriously wordy script without blinking, brimmed with ideas of their own, and reeled me in when I was getting too elaborate. Also, they took five characters who could quite easily have become stereotypes and breathed real life and heart into them. Respect. I think it was one of the happiest and most enjoyable productions that I've been involved with. And Mozza wrote some seriously groovy music Andy

Was I In That One?  Clouds saw Irwin's dramatic debut, playing the spectacularly laid-back chauffeur Hilberto. He had seen a number of previous Chameleon plays and thought he'd give it a go himself! Brian and Claire were refugees from Kirkella ADS. We'd worked with Brian during Spinoff's Productions' Walk Through Time - part of the Hull700 Celebrations. Claire had appeared in Kirkella's version of Aurelia. Not a patch on ours, but Claire was very good.

Quote, Unquote  I had a real ball doing this for loads of reasons: The laid-back but focussed direction of Andy who knew exactly what he wanted but wasn't afraid of taking ideas and suggestions, the fact that it was a comedy and a good one, the audience reaction - it played well and got us some new fans, I had the opportunity to wear a number of the most lurid shirts know to man and try out my infamous American accent and Brian did a great job as Owen Ray
Getting slapped in the face (twice a night), kicked in the shin, having to take my clothes off in public and then being turned down because the bird preferred a microscope! These people really know how to make a chap feel welcome Brian
Being in Clouds was a fantastic experience. Everyone was very supportive and patient with me in my first role. Will I ever recover....... probably not. The feedback I and the rest of the cast have received make it all worthwhile. A piece of Hilberto will remain with me always Irwin

The Critics Rave  Again with the praise Hull Daily Mail. "A lovely play, beautifully done. Claire Dean and newcomer Brian Watson, as Mara and Owen, carried the lion's share of the witty and intensive dialogue and captured the tentative romance between these two troubled people beautifully. Steve Clappison shone as Angel, the couple's go-between on Cuba and Irwin Williams, another new arrival to the group, played with a great deal of style and confidence".
