Memories of the Blythe Players
The Granary was used by the Blythe Players as storage and a scenery workshop. In the latter half of the sixties my father was the Stage Manager with the players, I was his assistant and together with a few willing helpers we were responsible for the post production work prior to each play presentation at the Blyth Hall. When everything was ready it all had to be manhandled in some way or other, usually on old pram wheels up to the hall. No mean feat in itself since this meant not only moving the scenery, props and costumes but a full steel proscenium, lighting switchgear, stage curtains and flies etc. The proscenium then had to be erected, curtains hung, the lighting fitted, wiring run, switchgear tested, scenery arranged and the stage dressed.
