smoking in theatre



The smoking ban came into place in England on 1 July 2007. From that date all public places had to legally become smoke free this included pubs, clubs and places of work. There were a few exemptions for example prison cells (if both inmates were smokers), care home bedrooms and of course on stage in the theatre.

i ain't afraid of no ghosts

1st Witch: When shall we three meet again?
2nd Witch : how about 10.30 just after the cast have come off stage?
3rd Witch: yeah just past the green room by the props store
1st Witch: oh yeah that’s a good one it will really freak them out!

Ok rubbish jokes aside there is no denying that theatre have a reputation for ghosts and ghouls. It seems that if you are any sort of theatre at all you need to have a ghost.
A general check list for a theatre ghost story is:

Hardwick hall

On Saturday I went up  to Hardwick hall to scope out the room and add some of the props that I have made for it.
 It is a  fantastic place and I do envy Miss S and her  job I would love to work in that type of environment  better than being stuck in a grey box of an office.
I am a little bit of a history geek too i love going around old houses and museums. I was given the grand tour and some of the furniture was beautiful but terrible  garish (by today’s standards) at the same time.
Miss S works  in the conservation team at the hall  so the tour I receive was not all about dates and figures
