Hooray, it's panto time
Well, ok, I lied, it isn't.Just because I'm pleased, and because these things really are decided this far in advance, I am delighted to announce that this year I will be the lighting designer for the Bury St Edmunds panto. I don't think if I am breaking any trade confidences if I reveal that it will be 'Alladin' and as the Theatre Royal is still closed for refurbishment, will be performed in a big top tent somewhere near to the location of last years show. Oh, and first night is the 7th December.
Other than that I know nothing, the director has vaguely mentioned lion dancers and spectacle, we will all have to wait and see. The good news, as far as I am concerned is that they are paying for me to stay up there for the production week, so I should get to visit the smallest pub in the world, and some of the other suffolk delights that I wasn't able to experience last year when I designed the exterior.

Smallest pub in the world a severely over-rated experience. Nobody goes there any longer - it's too crowded.
always has been when I walk past, still, it has to be done.
Oh no it hasn't . . .
(sorry, just getting you into the panto mood . . .)
oh yes it has...
might as well start now, hope I don't peak too early.
OH YES IT HAS!!
WHOOOO HOOOO! Excitement, hooray!!! Will the Nottingham correspondant be coming too?
I think it very likely, although she has a new job and we don't know how demanding of her time this will be.
