Went into Prime Mark today to see if they would let us use any old shelving for the set of the show. Talk about corporate bureaucrats, I had to write a headed letter so the manager could forward it to head office where it would surly get passed around for a month before they told me no. So, I went down the lane to Zutti and spoke to Maggie the owner of this independent clothes shop who without a heart beat said "Yes". Moral of this story is, when ever you need the help of business in the arts ask the local businesses as they have the power to help.
Shops are like theatres, in the front are flash stock, shelving, lighting and glamour, behind all the gloss are the bare bones, the kettle and if you're lucky a toilet.
