It has been a real privilege to be part of a play written by one of our own and it is great to be involved with the group again. Apart from trying to remember how to memorise lines (and act!), Becky has thoroughly enjoyed being on stage once more and is looking forward to being part of future shows with the wonderful Theatre64.

(She thought it was ten years but it turns out it's much more than that!)She enjoys both acting and directing; although it's been a while since she was last treading the boards.

The learning process has been amazing - so thank you to all involved.

He is aided and abetted in this by a long suffering wife and two very active boys (see smaller members of the cast). He would usually mention Fulham as well but its just too depressing at the moment.
