Wednesday evening: my first proper techie meeting with director Juliet Lake and technical director Fred Skilton at the Mike Barlow YMCA theatre in Cardiff. The stage a blank space beckoning before us, all evidence of the previous production (Much Ado About Nothing) disappeared. Onto this blank canvas plans were drawn, set ideas discussed, obstacles and challenges noted and technical requirements announced.
Onto the black paint of the stage the outline of the main set was drawn in chalk, like some bizarre murder scene. Memories of 'Glorious!' were rekindled while raiding the hatch, of dangling precariously out of it, all in the name of entertainment. That former show gave us a good grounding in what was achievable technically on the stage. The Thrill promises to take all that a step further...
