The BSC sometimes seems strangely connected to world events.
Back on 11 September 2001 we were finalising the set for JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH, which ends in New York.
Our designer had created three profiles to create the backdrop of the city and half way through the meeting we reluctantly decided to cut the World Trade Center. Fifteen minutes later the first plane hit….
Now we’re producing THE FIREWORK-MAKER’S DAUGHTER in which the heroine Lila climbs the volcano Mount Merapi. Which exploded yesterday…..
I suppose we should be grateful our production of THE WOEFUL SECOND WORLD WAR passed off without incident….
