Spring production
Well done to all the Marlow Players for the excellence of the presentations through the run in Marlow and the really outstanding performance at Marly-le Roi. Everyone worked hard on this, from arriving on time on Friday morning, and arriving on time at the theatre. Thanks, Brian and Crew, for all the hard work assembling the set: sound and lighting in England and France and in the teamwork on Saturday and Sunday nights. Brian, thanks for liaising, getting us a great coach and making it all work from our end. Well done to our actors, old and new, who gave an excellent performance. Everyone aimed for and achieved very high standards. Thank you to Jossy for finding some great gear, and Max for his expertise in construction, and to all our newly acquired friends from West Wycombe. We hope you had a wonderful time and will want to come in again- even if not a Marly show! There’s the French visit next year to plan for, and a summer programme and we will be running the Murder Mystery and then starting up again on a new play in late July ( auditions and casting ).
All the best,
Andrew
Pics from the show have been posted on the external web site. Thanks to Bob for those.
Production studio tidy-up 16 April 2019
We will be sorting out the set and props that we have carried back after the Marly show. Please come along to the studio at 8.00pm and help us sort back the props and set pieces. Please collect any props you have lent for the production. If you don’t want anything back please let Brian know so we can either find a space in our storage or dispose.
