Where would you even start?

We started with the theatre – lets face it, if you don’t have a venue nothing can happen.  Having made a list of all the small theatres in London and looked at their hire policy there were a few options.  Most of them had drawbacks.  Theatres above pubs have access issues.  Can you imagine taking a set and all the props upstairs?  Downstairs at the end might not be much better, and the audience might struggle too.  Other theatres were miles from a station, or in really busy areas on double yellow lines – the set again!   Still others were only keen on hiring out for plays addressing current issues or by promising young playwrights. Our play failed on both those counts.  Questors Theatre in Ealing had the advantage of having the right size theatre, easy access, not far from a tube, and close to some of us, and most of all was available in November.  Problem sorted!
