Swallows and Amazons Production Week: Day 3

Yesterday was the Dress Rehearsal of Swallows and Amazons – the first time the play has run all the way through in the theatre! We managed to get to the end in good time, and with some great performances and beautiful moments on stage. There’s real excitement amongst everyone involved to get the audience in later on today and show off all the hard work they have done over the past months!

Swallows and Amazons Production Week: Day 2

We were back in the Crescent again yesterday for round two of the Tech Rehearsals. We warmed up by pre-plotting lighting states in the daytime, to try to speed things up later on.

Swallows and Amazons get in

We (Liz, Lucy, Alex, Chris, Chloe, the Tech Team, Rosie, Peter, Matt, Georgia and me) were at the Crescent Theatre yesterday, kicking off Swallows and Amazons Production Week with the get in. We managed to transform the space, building the set, organising the (insane number of) props, tidying the backstage area and generally getting the whole theatre ready for the arrival of The Actors later on that day.
