Less a sequel to
"House Of Frankenstein" than a rewrite. Same plot, same
characters, same jokes. Matthew certainly hated it! This
was our final fling at Hull Film Theatre as the
management decided to stop hiring it out to local
amateur groups and concentrate on showing films, which
they felt were more profitable. Heaven knows why, they
charged us the earth. |

Surprisingly,
the Hull Daily Mail turned up. “There were some
very good performances”, they said, “in particular
from Val Howell who was a jack-booted German with a
penchant for whips and a natty line in black silk
nightwear. |

She had competition in the acting stakes from
Helen Robinson, whose American accent and ease of
performance was a lesson for many a professional. Brian Caine quickly got his
teeth into the role of the bloodthirsty Count and
Sharon Burton was melancholy as his wife. The
jokes may have creaked as much as the castle door
but this show was all about having a good time.
The action set off at quite a pace with the cast
rushing around the set in the frequently used manner of every
farce and playing it for all it was worth with doors banged, screams heard and
giggles muffled”. |

Bandages and
more bandages. I've never done so many different pieces of music
for one play without the aid of bandages Maurice
I knew I'd mess up
that bloody poem (The Raven) one night and I did. And then
I skidded through the water and fell over during the chase. I
think I got away with it! Sharon
Remembered best for
lots of charging about, and David's Cockney accent
Jenny
I remember contributing to the mummy outfit by sewing on miles of crepe bandages
and then taking it out in the garden and rubbing it in the mud to give it that
authentic ‘lived-in’ look Ailsa |
