The Stage Crew
Pictures from the preparation of Dick Whittington
The flats beginning to go into position. Steve and Matthew secure the front of the stage,
Brian explains to William and Sam that they are standing in the stern of a ship and
Stuart attempts to improvise gel holders
(which were abandoned shortly before they were due to catch fire)
The flats are in place - give or take an appearance of the fort in the middle
of the London street - and the skeletal boat is taking shape from its magic box
at the front of the stage. Meanwhile Stuart pretends to be the only one working.
Chris C. prepares to ascend to secure additional support for the backdrop.
(Chris T. managed to take a whole set of photographs of Pat watching other people working.)
