Paige made the original Christmas Pudding and there was a comment that it was too large but when I looked at it I could not see what the complaint was about as I thought the Pudding looked good but when I saw the first show it clearly was too big. They had put a prop chicken on the table and when they had to put the Pudding on the table they had to deliver a line saying it was such a small Pudding which was amusing as it was easy twice the size of the chicken on the table lol.
So before the next show Pippa had to make a smaller Pudding, as Paige was not available. The new Pudding was much smaller and I am sure would of looked more appropriate on stage. It also was probably still wet as there was not much time to complete the task before the next show. That's showbiz!
The top left picture is off the second Pudding and the bottom right picture is of the original Pudding. The bottom left picture shows the 2 Puddings together to show the comparison in sizes.
The other Prop I was intrigued with for the show was the door which had to have a slit in it for the ghost of Marley's head to poke through, (at least I think that's who head was to stick through as I am writing this half way through January and I had watched the play before Christmas).
The set was quite basic, which I have discovered since my journey has begun at college, that often the stage settings are minimalistic and crates seem to be used a lot.
The bottom right picture shows the chairs backstage, behind the curtain, where the Actors sat whilst waiting their call onto stage and clearly where they changed into their costumes.
I love being involved in the Theatre and being involved backstage and just enjoy taking pics of what happens to help make a production take place.
