Thank you Mike. You’d have been most interested to see this version of your effects. How lovely for you that your brother is now living near Stratford! It might be worth keeping an eye on what’s coming up at the RSC https://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/ as things seem to book up very quickly. It seems a gesture of faith booking a year in advance, but it is amazing how quickly this date in the distant future suddenly comes up. And, as you say, for the screen version, Belper, Wirksworth, the Quad…

I was the stage hand with responsibility for creating the sound effects for the storm! I rigged up a contraption, of my own design, out of sight behind some bushes using scaffolding poles to hold some canvass over an open cylindrical drum which I rotated where storm noises were required. The results were just what the director wanted and he and the cast were delighted with my contribution to the performance. It would be fun to see it again. Now that my brother is living near Stratford we will be going to the theatre some time soon. We must also see a live performance in a cinema like you, Wirksworth or Derby Quad. Best wishes, Mike
