Once in the theatre we also had to contend with quick changes for the first time. Due to our company being so small in number, only fourteen in the cast, everyone had to double role, and some people had to multi-role. This meant there were many quick changes throughout the production. During studio runs, we were able to time how long we had for each quick change and practise changing shoes and costume items such as jackets, but we were never able to practice full costume changes or walking the great distance between the entrances at stage right and stage left in the Pleasance Theatre. To complicate matters further, the theatre had no side stage areas, therefore setting costumes in an easily accessible, yet safe, place away from the audience became a new challenge.  We identified a safe place to get changed and worked with the costume team to make changes easier and smoother, and of course we all made sure to help each other too!

After two days, we had successfully completed tech for the whole show and were ready to do a dress run on the Thursday morning.
