A Week at the Theatre

After popping in to the theatre last week to watch the rehearsals a couple of weeks ago, I find myself in charge of sound for this week's play, See How They Run.

When I was in Sheffield, I tried my hardest to avoid sound positions at all costs. I'm not a big fan of loud noises - particularly when they are as unpleasant as the chart tunes that were pumped out at the weekday club nights. I was trained to work the desks - as I mentioned in a previous post - sitting in front of all those knobs and faders terrified me, I had to 'watch' the desk once and should anything have gone wrong I would have been of very little use.

Out and About in Altrincham

I have been in Altrincham for about two months now and someone pointed out to me the other day that despite this, even walking to a local restaurant opened my eyes to new roads and streets that I had never seen before. It occurred to me that I still haven't really been round the town and had a look at what Altrincham has to offer. I knew that some places existed - I'd driven past the local cinema on my way to the supermarket and I'd heard rumours of a local market but I'd not been to either.

I thought that it was about time things changed.
