Posters, Pictures, Publicity and Libraries


Monday April 11th kicks off the first week of the library performances and workshops. Four short (10 - 15 minute) characters including Howard Blackburn, Mad Jack Churchill, Sidney Smith (Stroud born Wimbledon champion) and Bill Hayward - Baughan motorcyle rider and champion.
The workshop will be a lively affair with mini cheese rolling, woolsack racing,leaping and spurning the barre (Gloucestershire's answer to tossing the caber)
Its then almost a month until first public performances of hour long shows Fearless Navigator and Mad Jack and the Severn Bore.
Photos have been taken for the press like the one on this page, posters produced, flyers are done. Just have to label them up and get them out to venues. Thats on top of finishing scripts, rehearsing, sorting lighting and sound and practising the bagpipes.
This is far more complicated than I thought. Maybe it's because they're cheap pipes or maybe because I'm not fully au fait (is that how you spell that?) with the bagpipe principle.
Not going to be Jack's standard I think so might have to let the magic of theatre intervene. You can work out for yourself what I mean by that.
It's all getting close and its all getting exciting. The Forgotten Sporting Heroes of Gloucestershire are on their way. Details of which libraries follows very soon. See you there!!
