		<title>Nurturing New Talent &#8211; Emerging Theatre Company Rhum &amp; Clay at The Watermill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looking back on the week we spent at The Watermill, it is strange how different it appears to a lot of Rhum and Clay&#8217;s rehearsal process in the past.  Whereas the early rehearsals for our first show had been in various parks around Paris and our following show was mostly created in a deserted bar [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was 1987 and I must have been about 3 years old (!) and had just started lighting shows, when my mate Alan J Green production manager at a tiny theatre in Berkshire asked if I would like to light an “Old Time Music Hall” working with a young girl about 4 years old (!)

		<title>A day in the life &#8211; The Watermill Housekeeper and a stuffed monkey!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day begins with the alarm making its noise at 5.45am.  I like weekends because then the alarm doesn’t go off, but it’s Monday again and the weekend has been and gone. Clean clothes having been put out the night before, I am soon climbing into them, my face and the rest of me having [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Home Wanted &#8211; The Production Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those that read this blog regularly know by now that I quite often” bat” on about recycling and  how much we try to reuse here at The Watermill. I’ve just gone through the design for our 25th Anniversary Seasonal Sauce and with pride can say it will be made of 90% recycled material and that’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sir Patrick Stewart makes a rare appearance&#8230;</title>

We had already performed our Christmas show The Wind in the Willows at 10.30am and 2.30pm to a packed theatre of school children. From 4.30pm we held [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spot the difference &#8211; The Production Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those who saw The Clodly Light Opera and Drama Society you will have probably recognised parts of the set. It is very easy to talk “green” but takes a great deal of skill and energy to make it happen. James Cotterill, our designer, certainly had that skill and imagination. We met a few months [...]]]></description>

		<title>Limited plugs and a tea urn &#8211; The Production blog on tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was with some guilt I stood at the serving hatch of the kitchen of East Garston village hall last week, as a procession of people thanked me for the “Sugary treat” they had all just been served. Not that this was a trial for The Great British Bake Off but the opening night of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yasmeen helps make books come alive for blind and partially sited children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people do something for charity, right? Even if it is selling cakes, going on a marathon or the men getting their legs waxed&#8230; We’ve heard of it all before. So imagine my surprise when I got an email from Beth Flintoff (The Watermill’s Outreach Director) calling in some young actors from The Watermill, to [...]]]></description>
