This was a youth production performed at the Wheatpieces Community Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performed\u00a0\u00a0at the Wheatpieces Community Centre – which is a good venue and might be considered again by TADS. This was originally being directed by Pat and Philip Davis – but they split up in Dec 2006, so I took it on. Philip had originally intended to audition school youngsters and use six: 22 turned up at the audition, and I took them all, to produce sound effects and crowd scenes. I was Scrooge – type-cast, they say. I was hugely helped by the three women in the cast. Alter-play comments were mostly about the impressively disciplined manner of the kids, which they had a lot to do with. The manager of the Centre was very helpful and (at that time) wanted more TADS.\u00a0I wrote the script but leaned heavily on Dickens for most of the Iines, to make it as authentic as possible.<\/p>Geoff Guy as Scrooge<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
