Morning
My first thought on waking this morning? We must make use of the extra stage time to resolve one problem that has been nagging at me.
During rehearsal we have been representing the different floor heights of the set with large pieces of painted cardboard which I have laid down and taped to the floor every evening. The actors have sat on chairs placed on top but on the real set will be sitting on the boxes that make up the raised area. I have pondered whether this will work as well in reality as it does in my head – I suspect the actors have had their doubts as well but have been too polite to mention it. Since there has been no way until now to face the problem we’ve got on with it but the sooner I look into it now I have the opportunity the better. I pray that my fears are groundless but it is better to know one way or the other as soon as possible in case any minor redesign becomes necessary.

Jack Boskett (Photographer) has sent me some excellent photos for the front boxes so that is the other job to be done. This will mean dusting off the old printer and coaxing it back to life.
Evening
We played with boxes on stage this afternoon and my fears were groundless. The set works!
Unfortunately bringing the printer out of retirement was less easy. Two new printer cartridges and a lot of hassle and finally I have some display photos. In the meantime the weather has turned foul and I can’t put them into the boxes in the rain as they run if they get wet. So enjoy them here instead and I’ll pray for sun tomorrow.
