| Despite his marital problems, Michael still visualises how the cast will realise his all-absorbing vision ... |
  |
|

|
  |
| ... such concerns are beyond Sal who just needs to be 'tense' to act, and Alan's focus is his lighting box ... |
  |
| ... 10 minutes to curtain, and Lynne's concerns are a closed book to Sal, as is the work of the Bard ... |
  |
| ... but Fiona's good news she can appreciate ... ... as the minutes to curtain tick away Michael joins Alan |
  |
|
in his lighting eyrie, turning his attention from relationship tribulations, to matters purely technical ...
|
  |
| ... as they confide in each other, Michael pours his heart out, about what the success of the play means to him. Not just another piece of am-dram, but a once-in-a-lifetime chance to prove to all - and to himself - that he did have what it takes to achieve his theatrical dream .... "thunder roll ... lightning flash ... ACTION" |
