    Quite, quite awful at first. Theatres are black places with no windows where it's generally impossible to find the light switch unless you have a diploma. There were no house lights or stage lights but lots of nasty white fluorescent tubes instead.



    Please imagine.



    We had to be out in x minutes to allow the next people to get in. Everyone was a bit fractious and ginger because a get-out follows the last night, which normally entails drinking to annihilation.



    This set was quite simple, thankfully, and when the ibuprofen kicked in, I was laughing.

    I have struck some sets, but never on a time crunch and never with a hangover...



    It is a good thing it wasn't too complex...

    I thought it was standard theatrical practice to have a hangover during loadout.



    In my old age, I don't drink enough to be hungover anymore, but I remember that the sure cure for one back in the day was a big greasy burger and a Coke. God knows why it worked, it just did.



    Carol- I had the same problem with gin. It was my first big (and last big- I never wanted to do that again) hangover when I was about 19. I couldn't bear the thought of the stuff. A few years ago, doing yard work on a blazing hot day, my friend came out with a tray of gin and tonics loaded up with shaved ice made from lime infused water. God were they good.



    But on the whole, these days I stick to a glass of wine. I have two days off a week, I don't need to waste one laying in a dark room moaning. Well, not for that reason, anyway...
