Summer with 'Alchemy': Clive's Cheltenham Diary part eight

Clive Nolan: "Last night we had a complete run through with most of the costumes and props… That was certainly a shock to the system, and I could sense a certain feeling of trepidation in the cast. Suddenly the show is becoming a real thing… tangible… close! Suddenly knowing whether to enter or leave stage left is essential. This was a valuable exercise, which allowed us to really see where we are with 'Alchemy' and I must say I am optimistic. We got through the whole show is one piece, and despite some ragged edges, I could start to feel the flow of it. This was great work form everyone last night, and I think it sets us up very well for the last few rehearsals we have to come!"
