Of Mice and Men - the finishing touches

Tickets for Of Mice and Men are selling fast. Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th are already sold out and other nights have only a few seats left. If you want to be sure of seeing it you will have to book in advance.

Progress Blog popped into a rehearsal on Sunday and preparations are well advanced. Notes from director Joe Haynes mostly concentrated on people getting details right like shutting doors at the right time and making sure they were wearing a hat when they came in from the supposedly blazing sun. People do notice these details and as Joe said "audiences love to see things going wrong - I don't!"

The actors were all looking the part in jeans and cowboy boots. Producer Heidi Ashton, watching from the audience, had also got into the mood and taken on the role of a good American housewife. She was busy hand stitching stuffed mattresses to go on the bunk beds.
