Serious news

I heard some very sad and serious news recently from a local theatre company.

I don't think it is my position to post it here, particularly as i understand the company concerned have delayed making the information public so as not to upset some members.

But i wish they'd hurry up and do so! I'm sure they'd garner a great deal of support from visitors to this site.

So... *anonymous people* are you able to tell us any news as yet?

Cheers
Grant
