Mind Your Feet!  After finishing Delayed Arrival with even less people than when we started, it was time for a major recruitment drive. So we put an ad in the Hull Daily Mail and optimistically chose a play with a large (-ish) cast. Richard, Brian, Jill, Liz, Kathryn and Marilyn turned up and they all got parts. Then it was back to the enclosed environs of Spring Street Studio Theatre, so getting all ten of the cast (and the furniture) on stage was a bit of a tight squeeze. Two of the audience had their feet in the fireplace and Richard had to die almost in the laps of the front row!

Quote, Unquote  Hull Truck aren't exactly on my Christmas card list but their little Studio Theatre was a godsend to us in the early days as there was a lack of decent performing spaces in the centre of Hull and the Film Theatre was financially out of our reach for more than one production a year. So their arrogant and condescending attitude was just something we had to put up with. But working in the Studio, they tended to ignore us completely and leave us to our own devices, which was fine by us. All I can remember of the play is messing up the first scene on the dress rehearsal and having to start all over again. We also performed Act I  in the All-England Theatre Festival. Never a good idea just to do half a play and, needless to say, we came nowhere David
I like playing dotty old serial killer ladies Val

The Audience Won't Notice  Act I ends with Penworthy crashing through the French Windows with a knife between his shoulders and dying spectacularly. At which point Peregrine faints dead away. Curtain. Applause. But on Friday night Dave Barber crashed through the French windows straight into the back of one of the chairs, breaking it in two. Brian stumbled about a bit and then fell over. Dave had, apparently,  thrown him by "dying in my fainting space". We never heard the last of it.

Was I In That One?  Marilyn never did another play with us. We got the impression that her husband regarded all actors as a bunch of queers and he didn't want her hanging around with us!
