A script, a school and lots of hats

Had another meeting with Dave on Monday looking through his script.  It is really great seeing how the rough ideas are developing in characters.  Lots of potentially fun parts for the children to play: acting out workers on a Building Site; Jarrow Marchers; and Charleston dancing hedonists.  Had lots of fun talking through the final scene where we try and summarise the 5 decades since 1961.  Then an interesting trip to see the Archivist and look at her old black and white photos of the Cathedral being built.  Hopefully we can put some of these into a Powerpoint to back project.  It was funny how the ladies were never seen without hats - even when sewing kneelers!  We will need a lot of hats in the props basket!!!!
