Chris Bennett: My first appearance on an SLT stage after a (partially) self imposed exile of nine years and it felt great to be back, especially as there were some old mates in the cast. This was the first production during SLT's temporary relocation to Stanley Halls and it was definitely a steep learning curve: the Sunday 'get in' being a particularly close run thing!
