GERALD MAIELLO - DIRECTOR

* Had a lovely conversation with Joanna Lumley and Edward Fox whilst wrapped in bandages
* I think people should be banned from reversing into parking spaceds when there is a queue of traffic behind them
* I have performed in a play that had only one person in the audience...who was a friend...who left in the interval
* I acquired a spoon from Her Maj having been invited to Buckingham Palace for tea in the garden
* I am truly appreciative of the simple things in life
*I attained a Junior Gold (Highly Commended) in tap dancing; and BAGA 4 in Gymnastics
* I was a constant 'bench warmer' in football or 'left back'...in the changing room when clearly as good as Mick Harford, Luton FC
* I played in a rock and roll band to promote Sealink Ferries
*I was heckled in a care home for the elderly, for a performance of 'Underneath the Arches' ..."call that entertainment....when's the bingo starting"
*I performed poetry, songs and sketches in the dingiest pubs around Peckham, Brixton, Lambeth, Bracknell, Camberwell and Wilsden Green. That went down well

nicola williams - producer

* I was once told by a voice teacher at a famous London drama school that I would never perform Shakespeare because of my 'Watford accent'. Yep. Innit
* I swam in a team for my secondary school. It was the only sport they could get me to do. I still swim regularly; I like to alternate the roles of Ariel/Ursula respectively 
* I have a habit of drying my hair an hour before I'm due to go anywhere important - particularly a wedding or holiday. It's gone wrong many times. I also cut my own fringe but let's not go there...
* Gardening makes me happy. I'm relatively new to it. I haven't grown a red tomato but great at growing green ones. My mum helps me in the garden - I call her Alan Titchmarsh and she calls me Monty Don. Actually now we're just 'Al and Mont'
* I have a Yorkshire Terrier who is partial to a full English on a Saturday and a roast dinner on a Sunday (please don't tell my husband - he's very strict about his diet)
* I'm obsessed with buying art prints in charity shops and car boot sales. My favourite artist is Turner, especially 'Light and Colour' and 'Shade and Darkness'. I get lost in them often
* I trained as a dramatherapist shortly after finishing a T.I.E 'Make Poverty History' tour around around some of the most deprived areas in England. I had a chair thrown at me from the audience and I wanted to work through the anger the piece had evoked
* I won a fancy dress competition when I was 8 years old dressed as a milk bottle. I won 'best disco dancer' that year too. '88 was a good year
* The Lord of the Rings' is my favourite film trilogy. I wrote my third year dissertation on it
* I love British comedy, especially Only Fools, Ab Fab and The Office. I'd love to meet Jennifer Saunders and Ricky Gervais in particular and thank them for making me so happy

KERRY SHADBOLT

* I love this theatre company. We are AWESOME
* I also love Tom Hardy. Purely for his acting ability obviously. But....honestly, just look at him !
* I am a fully qualified Swedish massage, Indian head massage and Reflexology therapist
* I want to live by the sea, preferably somewhere in Cornwall, and own chickens
* I am fascinated by the paranormal and believe 100% in ghosts and reincarnation
* If I could go back in time I would be a Victorian music hall singer in the East End, being a Hackney girl I'd have to stick to my roots
* I was conker champion twice in middle school. I had the gnarliest conker ever and I have no idea how it didn't break
* I made two adults - they used to be babies but when I wasn't looking they grew up far too quickly. They are my greatest achievement, I brought them up alone and I am very proud of the men they have become
* I am a crazy cat lady. I've had a total of 17 cats in my lifetime (so far). I currently have a long haired white beauty called George who is very laid back, and a mad black and white girl called Lily - I call her either Lulu (no idea why, it just came out of my mouth one day) or Cow because she looks like one and she is very naughty!
* I hate cheese. I mean I REALLY hate cheese. Just the thought.....eugh
