| Teddy Bare's Picnic |
|
Edward Bare - nuttier
than squirrel shit! Mind you, we had to remove all of
Monica’s nauseating references to him as "My Teddy
Bare" or the audience’s sympathies would have been
entirely with Edward when he bumped her off and we'd
have had to advertise the play as 'Justifiable
Homicide Mistaken'.
After going bonkers at the end of the play each night
and attacking a poor defenceless armchair with a poker
(bending the poker in the process) Ray vowed to never
again cast himself in such a large part when he was
directing. But see 'Dead Of Night'. |
| Director's Commentary |

This had me as yet another
git, only this time not in a cardy but in a tank top. I played a psycho killer and, to be honest,
all I remember about this is that I did in Jenny (who played my wife, Monnie)
and I made it look as if she’d been poisoned by the gas fire, a hulking great
metal prop which I still have in my garage Ray |

| Cheap Publicity |

"A tense psychological thriller about a nice
normal bloke who just happens to kill people in secret", said the Mail
rather oddly. |

Peter bowed out
with this play. "Peter is a taxidermist by trade and
enjoys stuffing animals both large and small. An
enthusiastic whelk-breeder, his ambition is to become as
good an actor as Larry Hagman" ran his pen picture
from the 'Farndale Ladies Macbeth' programme. It’s
surprising we kept such a sane individual for over three
years. |
