Ipswich

Wednesday, 15 October 2008

Moving the set into different theatres certainly keeps us on our toes.  We had an array of bruises, cracked heads, and momentary embarrassments doing the first show here last night.  A few of us found ourselves scrabbling at blacks to get off, we also walked into posts and flats.  It keeps it interesting.

The Wolsey is also our most intimate space yet, with the audience so close we seem to be belting it out as we had to at Oxford, but feel we need to reign it in so as not to frighten the punters.

Nice thoughtful crowds, though, and the space is great.  Full or nearly full houses are also a thing to enjoy.  (Stephen - Boldwood)
