All packed away for the winter

The tour of ‘The Dressing Book’ is now over, so if you missed it you will have to wait until we tour it again to see it, which we will, probably in the Autumn of 2013, and next time we hope to include Dorset, Somerset and Devon. But we’ll keep you in touch. 2,338 people came to see it at 25 venues with an average of 93.52 per venue, which is way above what we expected, so we are delighted. 

Most of the feedback we have had has been really good. Some people would have liked more live music like the summer, but it’s much easier to do that in our outdoor tour when we have six actors and for this one we only had three, of course – and they were very busy doing multiple costume changes when they weren’t on stage. Also, we wanted to try out a more subtle kind of play, more poetic and delicate in its storytelling and physical movement and a lot of people have said how much they enjoyed that. But of course people like different things and I know many of you love the sheer ‘silliness’ of our summer shows. And there will be more of that!

Please come back to us with what you liked and what you didn’t. You are our audience and, while we want to take you to new places, it’s important too that we stay in touch with what you like.  

Thank you also to everybody who did front of house for us – and we got to know several new people, which was lovely. Thank you also to all our local organisers who did a brilliant job as usual.
