Our least professional moment probably came during our run of “Flash McNash and the Hamsters From Mars.” This was a children’s show, which involved a small Scottish child travelling to Mars and defeating some evil hamsters. The script may have been influences by non-prescription drugs.
Our moment of shame came when, with about two minutes before curtain up, one of the actors noticed that none of the stage crew were there. A quick phone call revealed that this was because they were still in the flat about a mile away. Most of the were in their beds, and our senior technician was “having a nice hot shower”.
Even some nice ad libs about the crew being “unavoidably held up in the asteroid belt” and quite a large distribution of free sweeties could not keep the restive three year olds completely at bay.
