July 20th 2013

After the Event is over and

Unfortunately we are still sober.

We just wanted to take a second to thank

our designers, our techies, our Ruth.

The writers, the workers and funders.

Do you remember? The bumble, banana and tuna. Do you remember

the diabetes Gary gave us and the times we ran for the bus.

Do you remember the bets that were made and the heat stroke days.

Do you remember the steps and the beds, The microphones' endless

hissing. Or Shame's reluctance for kissing.

Do you remember our tech guy,

Liam the black van bad man.

Of course you remember

Our tech guy is better than yours.

Do you remember Emma trying

to tame the poets into blue, red

and white. Do you remember the friction it caused but they

Pulled it off on the night.

Do you remember, road trips,

17 minutes, left, right, here.

Chippies, cake and Spoz's broken gear.

Do you remember our assistant

director and general stand-in.

GOD DAMMIT PATRICE why you

So outstanding.

Do you remember the loved

up couple who lit the stage.

Chris our resilient techie and

guessing Spoz's age.

Do remember our Tiny Rainbow.

She is our pot of gold.

The security fears, the memories for years and the event

that sold.

Vist Northfield we've had our

Set backs, dealt with drunks,

racist and pellet gun attacks.

Our designers, our techies and

our Ruth. Without their support

We'd have been on the roof.

So night falls and the last curtain

calls. We're prepped and ready to take on our roles.

Was she a good director?

The best.

Was it a good show?

The best.

And if we have forgot

any thank yous -

soooorrreeey [in the voice of Rose]

Though the play may be over. The

work is still in progress!
