In the beginning

Am I crazy? Hmm a tough question. Maybe you need to be a little crazy to be into amateur dramatics. Actually, thinking about my fellow thespians I think that's probably true...

So, anyway, here we are again, new show, new Director (who will be known as Director Guillotine for the purposes of this blog) and new Producer (that's me, that is). Now, I need to get you, the reader, up to speed with a few things.

Director Guillotine put forward a play for the spring at the AGM last year. He wanted to do the Elephant Man (then this blog would be all about elephants I suppose), then he discovered that the license for amateur performace had been withdrawn as a touring group were going to be doing it and had refused amateur performance at the same time - nice I thought. So we then had an EGM and Director Guillotine put forward a Tale of Two Cities, which was voted in. Fabbo.

Then Director Guillotine needed a team, so he asked me to produce the show, now I have never produced a show before and had no idea what to expect or what I really had to do, so foolishly I agreed, perhaps because I live with him and he can be very persuasive... So that's me now, Producer Guillotine with spreadsheets, a producers book with Paris on the front (I thought that was rather clever) and no free time from here to the show... What have I let myself in for????
