Practitioners on Practice... On Stage Management: An interview with Guy Fryer
“I would describe my job as turning set designs, ideas and all of the bits and pieces that are in a designer’s head, into a reality.”
Fryer talks in detail about the process of getting a production onto the stage itself, from the graft to the grandeur. He talks about his time at RADA on the Theatre Technical Stage Management course, learning everything from sewing machines to set building, explains that level-headedness and enthusiasm are indispensable qualities backstage, and how the distance between a 5-year-old shouting at Captain Hook, and Hamlet monologuing to a skull, is not as great as one might think.
