About

Sioned Jones and Chris Saul are struck by the width of the Lyttelton Theatre in comparison with the Cottesloe. Jeannette agrees; it requires a sense of a bigger person for a bigger space. It's particularly important to be aware of audience members in the circle; Chris delivers Polonius speech to Laertes from Hamlet to Jeannette and Sioned, who stand in the circle.
