So after all the angst and some hard work from many people, we finally staged Fringe Benefits… pretty successfully too. A record number of tickets were sold and Friday and Saturday in particular packed them in.<\/p>\n

I would personally like to say thanks to the cast for all the time put in to polish the performance during the last two weeks. The script was deceptively difficult and the blocking was typically complicated (it was a farce after all!). So well done to you all.<\/p>\n

I must say that I found this production was very hard work, especially because we had to resolve the problem of how to stage a performance given the restrictions and lack of infrastructure in the new hall.<\/p>\n

My most heartfelt thanks to the backstage helpers who did an enormous amount of work – you’re all heroes!<\/p>\n

Thoughts..\u00a0 (my personal opinion from a Director’s perspective)…<\/p>\n
