Lost And Found In Theatre Village



A Note From Grace Hatchell
Oi, before you go wandering off down the village, have a quick nosy at Theatre News, love. I’ve pinned up theatre goings-on quicker than you can say ‘five minute call’.Honestly, if theatre folk stopped putting notices on boards, half of us would miss our cue and the other half would end up in panto by accident.
Anyway, kettle’s on, board’s updated, and there’s probably somebody looking for a tap-dancing pirate by teatime.
– Grace
