Hall for Cornwall held a "Meet the Stars" event for the Friends of the theatre after last night's opening performance of Grapes of Wrath. These events are one of the benefits offered to the Friends of the theatre and are an important part of how Hall for Cornwall operates.
As well as allowing our Friends to meet and talk to the performers, last night's event allowed us to properly welcome the cast to Cornwall and make them feel at home. After a flawless opening night performance there was no question of the warmth of the reception.
Friendly company and a drink or two was probably most welcome given that the sophisticated set used for Grapes of Wrath includes an on-stage river and a very efficient sprinkler system for the torrential rain scenes that leave most of the cast pretty damp by the final curtain! They seemed none the worse for it by the time they arrived in the Stars Bar though.
Grapes of Wrath has a fairly large cast with many very experienced and high profile actors. There was plenty for our Friends to talk over with them and the event was enjoyed by all who attended.
