The Joy Ride
by Georgina Reid
was our planned production for our first slot at Northern
Theatre in January 1989, concerning Lady Godiva's famous ride
through the streets of Coventry. It suffered from so many members of the
cast (and their replacements) dropping out that we could no longer
continue with it and gave it up as a bad job. We had even got to the stage of preparing costumes and
having some incredibly naff publicity photographs taken at Lonsdale
Community Centre, a selection of which you can see here. (How much is it
worth to take these off the Web, Ray?)
Fortunately we had a ready made
replacement in Quintet In A Flat but only six weeks in which to
rehearse it, including the Christmas break. Kerrie was rather
disappointed as she'd had a good part in The Joy Ride but she
didn't like Quintet In A Flat one bit. But every cloud has a silver
lining and Quintet In A Flat turned out to be a much better production than
The Joy Ride
would have been. |
