Felicity Cozens has asked us to mention the brown paint that was used in every BATS production no matter if it was interior or exterior, Europe or Australia, face or drama. BROWN PAINT RULES.
David Austin used to mix paints for the theatre sets. Leftover paint from previous plays was used to produce other colours we needed but mostly ending up being a strange purply brown that covered everything. Enamel, and acyrlic, gloss and matt paint went in all together. It played havoc with drying times and cleaning brushes.
Many of the various plays had scenes that used David and Rodney's own furniture and carpets. They look very familiar when looking though the set photos over the years.
