Lords and Ladies
Wed, 24 July 2002, 11:11 amWow. I saw Lords and Ladies by Arena last week and I thought it was really great. I was lucky to get in as it had been booked out a few times and was glad that I waited for a cancellation. The whole thing was very well put together from the costumes to the cool makeup to the music and all the scenery. The lady playing Nanny Ogg rocks and so does the dipsy blonde who was Magrat. Loved Death. It must have taken heaps of very hard work from the director and everyone else to pull off such a big show with such style and success. Everyone I know who saw the show thought it was great too. What other stuff does Arena do? I want to see more shows from these guys. They're brilliant.

Wed, 7 Aug 2002, 03:26 pmConsidering Lords & Ladies had to at the last minute put in a complete lighting rig - That was borowed from various sorces and was still being focussed on the Dress run. Not only but also they had a yoyo of a StageManager Come TM that just because he needed a holiday decided to have a stroke instead and had a vacation in Hospital - The show should have fell apart. The fact it was at the Hayman should have suggested wfen you hire the house, you get a standard lighting rig - but because of some internal wrangle with the powers that be - they levied a 4 hour hire charge on each individual light for the season - in that respect the other spaces such as the Maj or Burswood started to look inviting. However they did supply a student as a duty tech, at a cost. when I was advised of this I thought - Great a student?? however I was most upset when we worked with her - She was fantastic - not what expected atall - Anna Head was as good, if not better than most Pro's in the Industry - Not what I expected at all!!! Curtaian must be turning out some good students or is she just exceptional.
While the theatre departmentat Curtain might not get any money {so I believe} from the house hire. Me thinks this is something between them and theirs. Not to attempt to rape a Community Production to satisfy their needs - Don't the get enough public money to exist. If they do - it comes down to bad management. They want the place used - But as a space user. I for one will ensure we go somewhere else. Anyway all I can say is it was a great experiance and I am getting one of my Grand kids to secretly buy some more of T.P's books. Which I can read and keep hidden - Disc Worlds, What? fairies and Elve's I don't know what your on about?????
