Introduction
Stuart Draper's first production at SLT as director - four months after he joined...
Taking the friendship between Valentine and Proteus a little further than traditional productions, and utilising the pop group Steps as it's soundtrack, the production saw Jack King, Alan Jarvis and Jay Michaels camping it up as three gay bandits, Matthew Lyne being upstaged by a puppet, and Kay Anderson (née Dobby) and Rachel Seabury getting it on as the lesbian lovers Sylvia and Julia.
A complete sell-out it was well received by some - and not so by others - with its high energy, uber campness, disco lights and total irreverance.
The play was subsequently reworked and adapted and produced professionally by http://www.melmothproductions.com, again with Draper directing.

This was the first thing I ever saw at SLT, really impressed me with it ambition and vision, and opened up a whole world of possibility. Kat
