Life at the RSC




Thar's my Richard III performance in a nutshell. 'Course I played William Page in Merry Wives, another part in Twelth Night and a girl in long velvet dress in Duchess of Malfi. Understudied for Mamillius in Winter's Tale. And enjoyed the perks of playing tennis and swimming at The Hill.🥰
All during my three years at the RSC. They wanted me back at sixteen which would have given me an Equity card and changed the course of my whole life. 😮

Sue's super Cygnet window displays


Sue's window displays have just received a  from Caroline Smith who with her friend have run the Silver Sheep shop in T wells for years. A real compliment as years ago I asked Caroline for some tips when Diana and Gingergirlmakes were doing the Cygnet window displays. 

And btw Sue's displays were featured in the recent Autumn In Shaftesbury post on This Is Alfred.

Sue Hannant going beyond the call of duty!

From: Paula Andrews 
Dear artists 

Another quiet week, as far as news goes. 

Firstly, I would like to share a message from Grenville and Hazel, that surely resonates with all of us:

This is just a quick note to express our thanks to Sue. She went in at nine yesterday to steam clean the floor, opened at ten prompt and then never stopped selling till way after three, filling two sales sheets and taking just over three hundred quid! 

Hazel and I popped in last night to restock as Sue rang to say she'd sold four of mine including The Greeting, one of my latest, featuring a mallard paddling up to a white Aylesbury duck in a duckhouse. 



Which just goes to show why the Cygnet needs to stay open on Sundays right through the summer season.

Well done, Sue, and thanks again!

Grenville

Secondly, a reminder to all. If you have any topics that you would like discussed at the upcoming Committee Meeting, please let me have the details and I will present them on your behalf. 
Thank you. 

And that's all from me, enjoy another short week 

Kind regards 

Paula
