Thanks

  • Enormous debts of gratitude: This show has been a feat of engineering, love and sheer determination and many of SLT's finest have rallied round to make it happen. I am unendingly grateful to Chaz and his technical wizardry, my hardworking backstage team led by Mark, everyone who lent props and bits of costume, the hammer-wielding carpenters of SLT, Hazel, Carole and Lisa who took some daft ideas and ran with them, my tireless, fabulous cast, Bryon for publicity, Stanley Halls for housing us, front of house and box office for making sure people can actually get in to see us, and the myriad of people who I am sure will have helped out between this programme being printed and the show going up. I'll send Jeeves round with some bracers for you all in the morning!
