They say that teachers are always picking up colds and bugs from working closely with children. Well, try working with big mice. I mean dancers! Bugs, colds, flu, sore throats and a multitude of nasty things seem to filter through the Company. I’m now on my second bad cold. On our day off I spend most of it in bed. The shows at Dunstable are fantastic, what a nice, nice theatre. Big thanks go to all the crew.
