And Tigers Mingle 8

The house is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we've been able to work in the house completely in situ for the past two days, today it was back to the half in half out way of working.


On days when the house is open, we can work in the house until the first tour starts - which is usually about 11.20. This gives us about an hour and a half to use the locations. For Richard, this is tricky, but he can use his imagination to a large extent when we are working in the Malthouse. For Sonia it is almost impossible - the layouts are hard to reproduce, the surfaces are different, there aren't pillars to use or billiard tables to pivot on.

As you can see from these pictures:


This is Richard and Sonia working on the end section in the billiard room.

This is us, trying to recreate the scene in the Malthouse. There is quite a difference...

The good thing about working in the Malthouse, is that we get a steady stream of visitors popping in and watching what we are doing. The feedback is generally positive, but then only the brave ones stay. For some people walking into a rehearsal is just too much, and they scurry off with a wild and fearful look in their eyes.
