Life of a theatre manager - painting bricks

As you may realise, this isn't me. Meet Bavers, our friendly neighbourhood technician whose been standing in for Dominic while he is on stage in Hamburg. We've spent a large part of this week painting scenery flats to look like brick walls for Abducting Diana (11th & 12th Feb). After much discussion on how best to do this, we ended up painting them all greay and sponging on the bricks. The end result looks pretty wicked so I'll make sure I post some pictures of the set when it's erected.

So that's another task I can add to my list as arts manager. :o)
