There are a couple of unusual but illuminating credits in the programme booklet that goes with the Birmingham Stage Company's wonderful new show, Skellig.
Special thanks are offered to The Civic Amenity Recycling Centre, Summers Lane, Finchley, 'for the junk', and Phil Eason gets a mention for 'Skellig Wings'. The latter are truly tremendous, too. But so is the junk.

Yes, you'll look this surprised if you go to The Old Rep Theatre next week, when audiences are in for a rare family theatrical treat.
Skellig is one of those small selection of books for children which has universal family appeal. It became an instant classic (and award winner) when it was published in 1998. Five years ago a stage version was premiered at the Young Vic in London. Next week a new production by Birmingham Stage Company opens at The Old Rep (Oct 7-18 at 7.30 with 2pm matinees on 9,13,14,16). It's aimed at youngsters of 7 upwards.
