Crew

	Stage Manager Caroline Law Caroline has been with us since “The Darling Buds of May”. She spent many years as the DSM and became our de facto stage manager for “Wife After Death”. She has managed to acquire an experienced team around her and managed to survive The Marlow Players “on tour”.
	Lighting Graham Evans Graham joined The Players in 2004 for the production of “Hobson’s Choice” and has remained a backstage stalwart ever since. He once appeared on stage in “The Darling Buds of May”, and made his directorial debut by directing the last production of “Unseen Academicals”.
	Sound Tony Bew Tony has been with The Players since 1997 and has appeared as many a lead, and bit part, as well as directing a number of productions. He last appeared as Lord Vetinari in “Unseen Academicals”. Since Charlie is in America for the week of production, he is stepping in to do the sound.
	Set Building Charlie Foord Charlie Gadget, as he is known, joined The Players for the production of “Tons of Money”, in 2011. As one of our theatrical technocrats, he is much in demand for set building, prop building, sound effects, communications and anything involving technology. This time he is confined to the get in and get out as he is in America from Monday to Friday.
	Assistant Stage Manager Sue Lovell Sue’s first outing with The Players was “Laughter in the Dark” in 2013 and has been assisting backstage ever since. She is now part of Caroline’s well-oiled (?) team, painting, gathering props, costumes and building and clearing sets.
	Properties Rosina Dolan Rosie, as she is affectionately known, first joined The Players for the visit of the French Baladins, in 2014, volunteering to house our visitors. She is now on her fourth production and becoming something of a veteran.
	Set and Properties Jacky Boxall Jacky has been helping us for several productions now and still refuses to have her photograph taken for the programme. She is a very useful member of Caroline’s team and acts in the “sweeper” role of taking care of all the little bits and pieces that fall between Sue and Rosie’s remit.

The Cast

	Peter Knight *Andy Scott* Andy is now pretty much a stalwart of The Marlow Players and also appears regularly in panto for the Maidenhead Drama Guild. ”’Allo, ‘Allo” was his first outing with us and he last appeared as Trevor Likely, in “Unseen Academicals”. He plays the struggling author, Peter Knight who unwittingly brings the play to life.
	Minna *Jocelyn Pearce* Jossy first appeared for The Marlow Players as the redoubtable Mrs. Higgins in “Pygmalion”. Her last role was as Madam Sharn, the Vivienne Westwood of Ankh-Morpork, in “Unseen Academicals”. She gets to show off her west country accent as Minna, the caretaker.
	Lydia Jennifer Major Jen first appeared for The Players in 2004 as Maggie in “Hobson’s Choice”. She has played both leading and minor roles since. She last appeared as Juliet Stollop in “Unseen Academicals”. As Lydia, she gets to revel in the stock role of a waspish vamp; this will require a little effort on Jen’s behalf.
	Cogburn Brian Couling Brian is another member of The Players with over two decades of performing. He last appeared as Ottomy and the referee in “Unseen Academicals”. Having dallied with a number of roles over the past few productions, Brian is firmly back in his comfort zone as Cogburn, the archetypal butler.
	Kay Charlotte Futcher This is Charlotte’s second outing with The Marlow Players. She first appeared as Wilma de Worde in “Unseen Academicals”. Here she plays Kay, the typical ingénue, sweet, ingenuous and trusting. This is much more of an acting role than the narrative of Wilma, so we wish her luck.
	Eudora Babcock Hilary Cox Hilary has been with The Players for an undisclosed number of decades and is always instrumental in our productions both on and off stage. Her last production was as Mrs. Eynsford Hill in “Pygmalion”. Eudora is the stock severe old maid, who, unusually, does not get bumped off in chapter three.
	Addie Laura Goodband Laura has been with The Players for over two decades and last appeared as the maid and Lord Vetinari’s clerk in “Unseen Academicals”. Again she plays a maid but this one is pert and vulnerable, almost constantly in a state of emotional stress and probably pregnant.
	Dick Stanton Dan Stocker Dan is brand new to The Marlow Players, filling the role of Dick Stanton. Dan first appeared on stage in 2008 as a late stand-in for The Wraysbury Players’ pantomime ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and has been with them since. His latest role for Wraysbury was as the Village Idiot in ‘Ali Baba’… a role that fits him on and off stage!
	Jordan Dillingham Andrew Stafford Andrew has been with The Players for over two decades and has acted and directed for most of that time. He last appeared as Arch Chancellor Ridcully in “Unseen Academicals”. As the lawyer of the piece, he exudes the feeling that it is not entirely through legitimate means that he has reached this position.
