ten years on...

I have been marking down the days to today and have just spent the past three weeks in rehearsal quoting Tom Cocklin.

How I have managed to cast plays these past 10 years is a wonder in the absence of Mr Cocklin...

Robin Savage just popped across to Jersey to take photos of the show and we reminisced about PETER PAN from 1997 and Tom's TO THE NEVERLAND! as the doors of the theatre flung open and we promenaded 200 people across the grounds at SHP; and Tom lying in bushes, exhausted, getting Hannah to rip off his boots! Never was a rehearsal room, or a theatre, more fun and complete with Tom in it!

Take care, Gill, Tom, Hannah and Little Tom - see you at Christmas

The Great Warrior

 

    Photo: Robin Savage

In former times, warriors had codes of conduct: there was a way. A way to fight which was honourable. In Kuri, fighting could only happen between sunrise and sunset. No warrior could kill or injure an unarmed warrior; an unconscious warrior; a warrior who had surrendered; whose back was turned. No warrior could kill or injure a woman or a child. The list continues. But it matters not because now there are no more warriors.
