Medical advice by Joan Hurst
We would like to thank Breath of Spring for ticket sales, Richard Clarke and Lancelyn Lighting for invaluable professional assistance with the lighting, Faringdon Infants School for additional staging, and Faringdon United Church for a rehearsal venue.
Visiting Hour is the first production of the newly-formed Faringdon Dramatic Society. We would like to thank you, the audience, for your continued support in this new venue. You will appreciate that a lot of things we took for granted have had to be re-thought and this has, of course, meant a lot more work. It is your presence that has made it all worthwhile!
A special word of thanks is due to the staff of the Corn Exchange and everyone responsible for it whose co-operation and forbearance in this new venture have been much appreciated.
