We are here! The Angelina crew, take up temporary residence at JayMews. We set up home in a free office (most staff seem to be onholiday) and begin to organise ourselves.

Liv starts sitting in on rehearsals, it’s essential that she gets toknow the show as it will be her job to call all the lighting and soundcues. Andrew is busy checking technical details of the venues and Keithstarts to put together props that will be used on the show. I’ve got myhands full booking the hotels for the Company, not that easy when theConservative party conference coincides with our visit to Blackpool andTorquay is full of Turkey and Tinsel breaks!! Thankfully, Sarah Cannon,English National Ballet Company Manager, comes back from holiday andoffers to tie up the loose ends, a saviour!

The time at Jay Mews flys by. Before we know it we are packing upall our things (we are now using Managing Director Craig Hassall’soffice, thanks Craig, hope we didn’t break anything!) and getting readyto load everything into our truck. It’s all getting very hectic but theatmosphere in the crew is fantastic. While loading the truck we get ourfirst look at the completed set and it looks great. With everythingpacked, all that’s left to do is look forward to our first get-in atWimbledon Theatre.
