The Beanstalks – Producer’s thanks

AND NOW

The Beanstalk Productions…

would like to thank everyone who laboured over the months to make the production happen, from the actors who had to learn their lines and make their own creative contributions, to the ticket sellers, front of house and punch makers, the scenery builders and painters, the constructors of the biggest boots seen in Shawford, the costumiers and make-up artists, the chorus and music, the sound and the lights, the photographers and programme printers, not forgetting those who performed miracles at the last minute, as well as the residents, dongas, drivers, ogres, elves and at least one fairy who all helped to turn a feckless idea into rip roaring reality and most of whom enjoyed it hugely for most of the time.

The production also owes a debt of gratitude to the Parish Council for encouragement and the use of the Hall and to Vanessa Smith for her patience.
