Preparations for Going Postal are being disrupted by the current arctic weather. It started before Christmas when Reading came to a standstill and a rehearsal and set building session had to be cancelled.
This week Chris and Aidan Moran (director and artistic director) set out for the theatre on Tuesday but had to turn back as the weather deteriorated. Following the heavy snowfall Wednesday’s rehearsal had to be cancelled.
The cast and crew have been working hard for months on this production and Chris is confident that the quality of the show won’t be affected by these setbacks. She tells us the rehearsals of the acting are going well and they started using props at the weekend. The plan is to start running with the costumes this weekend. So don’t worry the show will go on and with Progress’s nice new heating system we will all keep warm.
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett adapted by Stephen Briggs runs from
28 January - 6 February 2010 with matinees on 30 January & 6 February 2010. Tickets are available from the Hexagon 0118 9606060.
