We travelled to Italy to take part in the annual youth theatre festival organised by the Associazione Culturale "Romeo Collalti" in Rome.
|
This was the fifth time we had taken part in the festival which is held at the prestigious Teatro Quirino in the centre of Rome.
|
Our thanks to Dr Massimo Collalti, the president of the Associazione, who greeted us warmly and invited us to a reception at the RAI (Italian State Broadcasting Organisation) Club.
|
|
We also visited our old friends at the Convitto Nazionale School in Naples and performed the show for the students there.
|
 |
We are very grateful to Gabriella, Prof. Racioppi, Pasquale and the other educatori and staff at the Convitto for inviting us and for making all the arrangements.
|
|
Our third performance was for the students at the Liceo "Enrico Fermi" in Gaeta, a coastal resort between Rome and Naples.
|
 |
We also found time in our busy schedule to do some sightseeing, to visit the beach at Ostia and even to do some busking in Piazza Navona. |
 |
Arrangements
are made through Signora Nunzia Bertali, Italian
Consul in Birkenhead. Our thanks once again for all the trouble
she takes to make sure we have a good time. |
|
| Randall Lewton again directed the show and Rob Pickstone accompanied us to look after the students and to help from time to time with the backing vocals. |  |
Special thanks to Dan, Stew and Si of Off The Ground, who once again drove all our equipment to Italy and took charge backstage for the shows. |
