We have been to the Mission Theatre to check out the space. It is a fantastic theatre space for plays like "Cheer from Chawton". The Mission was was once a church - very intimate - over 200 years old, spectacular wood floors, acoustics. Everyone at the Jane Austen Centre is lovely, accomodating! We cast our Caroline today. A lovely young lady, very beautiful, named Chris, she works at the Centre. She has an exquisite Regency dress, jacket and bonnet - looks very smart! Walking the streets of Bath at night is something everyone should do. The city is alive and exquisitely lit, the bridges, the water, the restaurants full of candlelight, people, the smell of delicious food in the air. David Green has arrived from the south of France, I am thrilled he can be here to help stage manage the show - it will make my nerves easier! I sound like Mrs. Bennet! I forgot to tell Paula Hoza that the gorgeous bookmarks she designed arrived the day we left and I am leaving them all over Bath!
