‘Roaring Trade’ Dress Rehearsal

First dress rehearsal for ‘Roaring Trade’ last night and it was as sharp, sexy, bitter and funny as we’d hoped. Opens Saturday.

‘Roaring Trade’ last rehearsal

‘Roaring Trade’ had its last two rehearsals before going into production week this weekend: an extremely sharp, funny, bitter and fast paced script written by Steve Thompson about traders and their world just before the credit crunch hit. A morality tale for our times but sadly one whose message didn’t get out in time.

As the blurb says - come and see some bankers suffer. Starts 19th September till the 26th.

I was out taking some pictures of the Arts Fest happenings this morning before my rehearsal of ‘Roaring Trade’ and met ‘The Proposal’ cast en-route to the Art Gallery for their lunchtime performance.
