I love working with Hugh, he always manages to create this atmosphere of openness and teamwork. Each and every person attending rehearsals is encouraged to give their input and make suggestions, so we’ve all been sticking our oar in (as Miss Smythe would say).
Rehearsals have been exhausting but fun. Farce requires a lot of concentration and discipline from the actors, as almost everything they say or do has a direct impact on someone else. It’s been great working with these 8 actors, some of whom I’d worked with before, some of whom I’d seen on stage and others I’d never set eyes on before. I’m certain you’re going to enjoy watching them.
So book your tickets, brush up on your 1970s lingo and get ready to enjoy your evening “chez Markham”!
