Harold Shipman Project

Ouch... Well this one did not turn out as planned, unfortunately we where not prepared enough to deal with this situation and ended up pulling out.

All was going well at first, We identified various peoples strengths and took advantage of that, we formulated a plan and story quite quickly out of such a sensitive subject. Rimante and myself wrote the script and did the theme, Gav was also quite useful in this area when we initially discussed what issues we where going to address and how and constantly tried to keep in touch with the rest of the group.

All went well up to this point - unfortunately we did not acquire our intended location (Old age home), this was due to the fact we where having problems getting through to the 'head' and arranging something, we had a backup plan to do it at a local hospital but that didn't surface either.
It was quite unfortunate because we had all our actors too who boldly volunteered for this task - Rob would play the role of the psychiatrist, Kamal would be the street-wise cop , I would play the role of the presenter , Rimante and Ben would play the role as the bodyguards and Gav was going to take care of the technical side of the show. Ben would also provide pictures for the slide-show.

I am quite sad it did not take place but there was not much chance it was going to happen. Again I blame it on the lack of communication. but I do think it was a better idea to pull out instead of trying to make a half-decent show that was not rehearsed properly or correctly set up.

I will however be looking forward to going and seeing other peoples shows, I am quite interested in seeing 'The life of Dame Laura Knight' - I am impressed with the advertising of this show, I mean why not use the VLP email system to get to everyone, its fast easy and effective... and its something we would all like to know about - very good job guys for seeing and using this system, you got a paying customer right here.
