This was a splendid evening; taking theatre back to its origins in the courtyard of an inn! The audience were great; they spilled out of the pub to come and listen to a wonderful variety of acts. Spile was a tremendous last-minute addition to the line-up with his parade of animals, while Joe Brownbridge's Bottom was much admired for his dyings! I really enjoyed Brenda & Gordon's balcony scene on the pub's fire escape illuminated by the flashing blue light of a passing ambulance. But all the contributions were good - including the singing dog and dancing children.

It was a very jolly evening, with lovely music from the Beech Band; thank to Chris at the Beech for supporting it, and to all the Chorlton Anarcho-Syndicalist Collective for making it happen.
