Feat of endurance

Dashed about in the morning then lunch with Board-great conversations and very jolly-before off to see the new Alan Ayckbourn plays The Divide http://youtu.be/8ODYoLJ8-3w
Two three hour plays, with a dinner break in the middle. How on earth do the actors memorise all that?! Great production, lighting and music, strong acting. And at the curtain call the audience all gasped when a live orchestra and chorus was revealed at the back of the stage.
The basic premise seemed a bit dated (gender wars/dystopian future etc) and it definitely needed editing down-but we enjoyed it
