Hard Graft Theatre Co.

Gosh,

Finished Thick As Thieves in our little shop.

In almost no time at all we have built a venue, an audience and a show.

It may seem to some a waste of time when there are theatres to fill, but can I assure you that seeing audiences reactions in the shop made it completely worth while.

The artwork by Celia Perkins of our Banksy style wall outside.

During building the set, our kitchen had just come out of a ladies house in Saddleworth Oldham.

Me, about to paint the place black.

I have learnt so much doing this project, most of it concerning management.  I never thought when I trained as an actor that I would need to be manager.
