I take your point on the slight sluggishness of the first half, but in defence the lights were misbehaving due to a system crash shortly before we went up, characters found themselves 'wandering in' in the light rather than in the necessary dark to 'be in postion' before the lights went up. The lighting problems dogged us through out and no one's fault at The Library, the gremlins were at work! I learn from every production though and you have some great feed back Tim, and once again thank you, I'm humbled by your comparisons and I look forward to seeing you next time. Best wishes Joe PS Enormous thanks to a wonderful audience! Two more nights and the play is gone - from Manchester at least - for some time - so don't miss your chance to see it! Hi Tim
