Photographs

Publicity photos time for Blackaddder and, once again, we had been given permission to use Thurnham Hall near Lancaster. The formal photos were in the same vein as last years, making use of the Tudor and Elizabethan parts of the hall - judiciously cropping out modern lights, etc. when necessary.
The guests at the hall watched our antics with a mixture of amusement and puzzlement but generally didn’t seem to mind us getting in their way from time to time. A few even wanted selfies, which was quite flattering!
Once the formal shots were finished with we were let off the leash and, inevitably, a bit of silliness ensued. The sight of grown adults in Elizabethan costume running around the children’s playground was a joy to behold. I don’t think any of those photos will end up on the publicity material, but I do hope they will be shared in our WhatsApp group!
A most enjoyable morning with many laughs. But it’ll be back to the serious(?) business of rehearsals on Monday.
