The Verdict played at Theatre in the Country in April. It was a fairly simple set build, I think I was there maybe 5 days, as we were able to repurpose much of the set from Charley’s Aunt and spent more time on painting and set dec than new building. The main 3 scenes were a bar, a courtroom, and an office.

It was a well-done show, great characters and acting.
My first build for Theatre in the Country (TIC) is in the books! Charley’s Aunt is now playing in Langley: http://www.theatreinthecountry.com
It was a new experience for me – building on site instead of in a workshop – and with quite a large team of support, from carpenters to painters to set designers and set decorators – many of them volunteers. Combined with a simple set plan, it all came together relatively quickly.
It’s a funny play with some strong lead characters and delicious plot twists.
