Bursting into the kitchen on Monday night at the rehearsal, I encountered one of the cast members who shall remain nameless plaintively assembling a pile of biscuits.

"Goodness", quoth I, "hungry?"

"I haven't had tea" said this hungry one sadly.

Supermarket visit this morning to stock up on chocolate treats to be sure they don't waste away. And I'm now the proud p-picker-up-er of a 27 Pack of Penguins.

Shan't have my cast withering from hunger.
