28th July 1998
Renfield St Stephen's Church Hall
Scottish Youth Theatre summer school

Goodness me, what an event this was!

We'd been asked by SYT to provide a show as the "treat" for the end of the summer school.

This is how we ended up doing RHPS in a church hall for an audience of 50 very excited 12-16 year olds.

There's nothing quite as surreal as trying to dance in high heels on a parquet floor covered in rice and marshmallows, while a 12 year old transvestite screams "I never got a rubber glove in my prop bag!"

Funnily enough, we were never asked back.

A slightly odd epilogue is that the church's steeple was struck by lightning later that year, on St Stephen's day (boxing day) - divine retribution?

Nothing that remarkable about the card itself, other than it's somewhat cheap looking and shoddily printed. (look at the over lap on the bottom line)

That's maybe due to the fact that this card came from a Forks-produced prop bag, which, as you know, contain only the highest quality constituents.

Since every single audience member had a prop bag at this show, it looks like we're the culprits this time.

(Apologies also for the gooey blob on the back. Remnants of double sided sticky tape, I'm afraid.)
