 Director's
Commentary Not another set of one
acts. Just what’s going on here, anyway? It came about
because Ray was unable to direct the March play because of
work commitments and nobody else fancied taking on the
unenviable task. Neither did we, but it was either that or
missing a production altogether. We knew that if we tried
directing a full length play together we'd soon come to
blows, so we decided to do a one short play apiece. It
took us a while but we were able to find two plays with a
complementary theme - and we hadn't done a good ghost
story for a while. I gave Sharon her greatest part to date - "Dead whore behind the mirror" -
one of a number of challenging special effects. The
rehearsals were unusually smooth, the performances of a
good standard and, as the whole thing was only 75 minutes long, we were
able to get to the pub earlier! David
Okay, so I did it again, eight years on, despite
vowing not to. David and I stepped in to direct a
production at fairly short notice - we felt that directing
two one act plays would be better for our marriage (but
working odd shift patterns is the more valid reason) and
we were lucky enough to find two GOOD one acts with a tenuous
link. We had four new members, who we cast straight away, and
three cast members who had only had only done one
play with us before. The casts were great, the
productions atmospheric and very well received, though I'm
in no hurry to direct again Sharon

Was
I In That One? Chameleon debuts for
Steve, Tanya, Janet and Michelle after we had advertised
for young women. We can only assume that Steve must have
misread the ad - or there's something he's not telling us!
Our stock of eligible young starlets had
been depleted despite (or perhaps because of) Ray
describing us in the Hull Daily Mail as “Pull
Central”. |
