Me as Dolly Pickles in the floral dress on the left 
A drunken Dolly tells her daughter that she shouldn't hate her 
Dolly Pickles get chatted up in the local bar 
Dolly is not impressed by the big old rambling house where she and her family have to live
The girls next door chase after Dolly's son with a pair of scissors. He has just shown one of them his "thingy".
Trevor, as Sam Pickles, pleads with his daughter to visit her estranged mother, Dolly.

All looks very intense and Pinter like!
I suppose it was at times... but there were plenty of lighter moments!
Hi Annie
Thanks for this.
Have pinched these photos and added one to my blog - hope this is ok.

Hello Neil,
Of course it's OK - it looks good on your blog posting!
The Riding Lights Flickr photos on their blog are of a much higher quality but you may have discovered that they are protected. I managed to lift them from Andrew Dyer's Facebook account and the resolution is very much reduced. It might be an idea for you to credit the photos to Andrew Dyer. I think there might be another one of you on Facebook.. I'll take another look and email it if there is
Hope that all is well with you.
God bless, Annie
It looks like Pickles was pickled ! Sorry I had to make that joke :)
Is it hard performing when the audience is so close and the set is so open ?!
Very good Andrew!
Actually, it was great experience playing on a 'traverse' set, so no, not hard - just different!
Good to hear from you. Will take a look at your blog soon - I've been having a bit of a rest from blogging lately.
The school my daughter has just left has a very open stage http://thehexagontheatre.co.uk/main.asp they're pulling the school down in a few years but there's a petition to save the theatre !!
Thanks for the link Andrew... I took a look at the Hexagon. The open stage is great - much more personal for audiences I think. It always makes me sad to hear about theatre closures so I hope the petition is successful!
Best wishes, A
