Stage Make Up - Directors Please Note

We've recently acquired a whole new set of makeup. The previous makeup box which littered the top dressing room for years was eventually binned as out of date. We don't use makeup a lot these days compared with many years ago but we do need it for perhaps the Christmas show and the Juniors play. For safety reasons the makeup box is secured in the wardrobe.

Books

Is anyone interested in a handful of books about acting and theatre? Does the QMT have a small "library" - or want to start one? I have the following to give away to the first interested member who contacts me on sheila[AT]royal[DOT]net

• "Stagecraft - the complete guide to theatrical practice", ed. Trevor R. Griffiths;
• "Theatre Games" by Clive Barker;
• "About Acting" by Peter Barkworth (this is brilliant!);
• "More About Acting" by Peter Barkworth;
• "The Coarse Acting Show 2" by Michael Green;
• "Show People" by Kenneth Tynan.
