Over the next few days/weeks/months the pages will be improved, eg I have several reviews that I have not yet had time to publish plus many more pictures so please keep visiting. The site is also being gradually moved over to the G&S archive site - thanks to Jim Farron for his help on that project.

These pages are brought to you by Jackie & Bob Richards and Peter Zavon for the benefit of those unable to be at all or part of the Festival.

You find opinion on these pages. These are the opinions of those who expressed them and are not necessarily shared by Festival or Web Site management. Please send your flames to the authors.

If you have any comments or wish to raise any particular questions or issues to be included in these pages, please email us.

For the technically minded, the photographs on the daily pages were taken with a Sony Mavica MVC-FD7 - a digital camera with x10 optical zoom which stores the images directly onto a floppy disk in .jpg format. The photographs were taken from the dress circle (with prior permission of the organisers) during the actual performances using available light.
