The workers

Outside the village hall (at P'leens) "the team" get people into costumes, apply make-up, put on wigs and ensure everyone goes on ready for the show. Other backstage crew included Louise White, Diane Poole, Chris Scott and Ursula Towne.

At the bottom of this page is a picture of the show arriving live off the Internet.

Behind the scenes - the team worked away quietly to bring each cast member to the stage, made-up, dressed with Adrienne Towle ensuring that they had the correct props.

"The crew at the back of the room"

Martin Collins (video), Mark Collins (lighting) and Ron Midgely (computergraphics operation). The video was fed straight into a video compression board (MPEG4) on a PC supplied by Griffin Internet and from there via an ISDN2 line straight onto the internet (believed to be a first for a UK Pantomime).

"The crew outside the room" (the lifters)
