All the world's a stage

An admiring crowd at the Rose Theatre site in 1989, witness an impromptu performance of Hamlet by Derek Seeley, with Roddy Regan as First Gravedigger (pointing at the pitiful remains of court jester Yorick), Ian Tyers as Second Gravedigger (about to go and fetch some liquor), and Dave Kenny as Horatio (documenting the scene).

Below,cut off at the bottom, is Franco with Steph (in the dungarees). Judi Dench beyond the pile cap, I think. Who is the young guy in the russet fairisle jumper and glasses? I don't think he is on the group photos, but he was definitely working there.

This is "Steph" with Barry, and Franco at the side.
