Made in Dagenham 2022

This show went perfectly to plan… until it didn’t!

This being my first show since the pandemic, I really wanted to make a splash! And judging by the feedback, we nailed it! Complete with LED ‘Fluorescent Tubes’ for the factory scenes, and a beautiful 5° spotlight just for the closing speech of the show, we were so proud of what we achieved.

But then, Tom got covid! The groups policy and the building’s policy at the time was that you couldn’t enter the building if you had covid or symptoms, writing Tom off from the dress rehearsal onward. Luckily, the show was completely pre-programmed and Tom had updated all the necessary cues and pallets before the positive test. The show’s dress rehearsal and every performance was Tom-less apart from the little preview window of a zoom call which really demonstrates the practice of ‘Working from home’.

Anyway, the feedback was good although Tom was gutted not to see his show finished in person.
