I’m just in from tonight’s after dark session for JOURNEY’S END and what a great session it was.
More than 50 members of the audience stayed on to ask a thoughtful range of questions of the cast and crew; they also added some really superb comments about the production. My thanks to everyone – on and off stage – who took part.
Regular after dark sessions are a new thing for us at The Crescent this season, with almost every show having one following the Friday night performance. They are a great opportunity for the audience to ask questions and find out more about how a production has reached the stage – I encourage you to take part.
I went to see the afternoon matinee performance on the 11th and would like to say what a beautiful, dramtic and moving production this was. The acting was superb with a tremendously well cast set of characters. Though the studio was largely full of school children they were in turn entertained and gripped, often into silence. I have never experienced a single set over two hours engaging so completely. My congratulations to the cast, director and technical crew on an amazing experience that fully demonstrated just what an ‘amateur’ production can achieve.
