Southampton Passion Blog

Here I am sat on grass at the far end of Guildhall Square having just assisted in the unloading of a truck of fencing and barriers! That's right people - the Southampton Passion has landed in Guildhall Square! Today our first two lighting towers have been erected by the scaffolding company, our fencing and barriers have been delivered and... the PortaLoos have been installed!!!

It is quite amazing to have arrived in the space and started seeing things happen that will culminate in us taking over the whole square and turning it into an amazing outdoor theatre for Good Friday. We had our final rehearsal last night and there was a real buzz about the cast; the Daily Echo were there taking photos and the BBC South Cameras were also there gathering footage for some coverage to be aired! The cast are having a night off tonight ahead of a busy couple of days. The main stage build starts tomorrow so if you're around and in town come on down and see the progress being made. Right, I'm off to sit in the sun for a bit until the next person arrives to keep watch of the square and all our stuff. Until tomorrow...
