Private Lives
A fantastic play by the Royal Exchange Theatre
Design by
We make all kinds of pianos, but this one was special for many reasons. It was for the Royal Exchange where I started my career 17 years ago, it had to collapse on queue by way of electromagnets and be wheeled on and off stage between acts, and it was for a wonderful designer, whom, somehow I’ve never managed to build something for before.
Not only did we get to invited to see the show (rare occurrence these days) but Dick spent his time making something rather wonderful to thank us for our work on the piano (very rare) so thank you and I hope you don’t mind me sharing this 🙏 we won’t forget this one!
