Time Capsule

Every year the stage is re-skinned and a letter is hidden under the hardboard for the next Theatre Manager to find. This page is dedicated to those letters. Each one is a time capsule of sorts.

Theatre Manager's letter 2002 (Uncovered 2003)

Written by Mr. Richard Hogg in July 2002

Side 1

Written on EUTC paper (white with red edge strip showing the fat cat)

Dear Theatre Manager 2003,

Well done. You've taken the skin up.

If you can read this then it wasn't too bad!!

It's taken us nearly 12 hours with a 1 hour "pint + food" break to put the fucking stuff back down.

I'm going to try a pva/paint mix for the first coat so if the fuckers were hard to take up that's why!!!

Hogg

P.S. if I'm still around then tell me to go to bed + sleep some.

--> He's fat [pointing to the fat cat in the bottom right]
