Forget-me-Knot
Confusion reigns in David Tristram’s superb comedy. Is anyone who they say they are?
Production kindly sponsored by Vectis Rotary.
11-13 and 16-19 May 2017 (note changed show dates for this production)
Forget-Me-Knot, by David Tristram, tells the tale of a man who may or may not be Robert Zeinfeld, found wandering and suffering from amnesia. Detective Inspector Monroe is the man charged with working out who this mystery man is, with the help – or rather hindrance – of Mrs Zeinfeld and his own wife Samantha.
Robert is a confused man, not of his own doing – a bump on the head resulting in amnesia and a night in the cells have attributed to that. Inspector Monroe is also a confused man, but he has nobody to blame but himself.
Robert has been found wandering the streets in his confused state. His Filofax knows who he is – but does anybody else? Monroe is on the case – or seems to think he is. More confusion rains down when Robert’s wife is summoned and doesn’t know what’s going on either; but what she does know is that Robert shouldn’t be anywhere near where he was found and probably with a mistress, whom he definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near. When the mistress turns up, utter confusion is unleashed upon the stage. Is Robert who everybody else says he is? Does he really have amnesia? If he doesn’t then what is he doing with a wife like that in the first place? Is anybody actually who they maintain they are?
Forget-Me-Knot has been described as ‘one of the funniest British farces … with superb laugh-out-loud comedy’. We think you’ll agree!
Sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Tuby (1635–1700), based on drawings by Charles Le Brun (1619-90), and built by André Le Nôtre (1613-1700), the Apollo Fountain replaced the pre-existing Swans Fountain from 1638.
The statues are gilded lead, constructed 1688-70, and installed in 1671. The sculpture is of Apollo in his chariot, a symbol closely related to Louis XIV, the Sun-King (le Roi-Soleil).
The Palace of Versailles was created at the instruction of Louis XIV, and was the centre of French government and power from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until Louis XVI and the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789.
The chateau is built around a hunting lodge established by by Louis XIII, and was created in four phases: 1664–68, 1669–72, 1678–84 and 1699–1710, by the architects Le Vau, Le Nôtre, and Le Brun.

Looks like Dad had us sneak up past the barricade for a photo. Very typical.

Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, the crew of Apollo 1. They were killed in a launch pad fire in their capsule on January 27, 1967.

This piece from one of the first-stage engines of Apollo 11's Saturn V rocket was recovered from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in 2013. The injector plate sprayed liquid oxygen and kerosene into the combustion chamber. The propellants passed through the small holes on the plate. The baffles protruding upward (bent by the force of the first stage crashing into the ocean) helped regulate the flow of hot gases. This was one of the displays at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.
Ancient city of Cyrene, Shahhat, Libya.
Cyrene was an ancient Greek colony and then a Roman city in present-day Shahhat, Libya, the oldest and most important of the five Greek cities in the region. It gave eastern Libya the classical name Cyrenaica that it has retained to modern times.
Cyrene lies in a lush valley in the Jebel Akhdar uplands. The city was named after a spring, Kyre, which the Greeks consecrated to Apollo. It was also the seat of the Cyrenaics, a famous school of philosophy in the 3rd century BC, founded by Aristippus, a disciple of Socrates. It has been nicknamed then as "Athens of Africa"

The Campania in the Roman era exhibition recently opened on the ground floor opposite the impressive Farnese collection. The 20 rooms are filled with sculptures and paintings from the 2nd century BC to the 3rd century that decorated public buildings in Naples and southern Italy (including some from Pompeii and Herculaneum).
→ See also Visit the National Museum of Archaeology in Naples for more on one of the finest collections of antiquities in the world, including the marvelous Farnese sculptures (including Hercules at Rest and the Farnese Toro) and the best artworks, mosaics, as well as frescoes from the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

This scene from the highly popular 1995 film, Apollo 13, takes place moments after an oxygen tank exploded in the Service Module. The Guidance, Navigation, and Control ("GNC") Flight Controller warns Flight Director Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris) that the spacecraft may rotate into “gimbal lock.”
"Gimbal lock" would align two or more gyroscope gimbals and then flip them out of position. The crew would then have to perform the difficult task of realigning the gyro platform using the space sextant, telescope, and computer keyboard you see in this display case. Of note, portions of this unit actually flew on the dramatic Apollo 13 mission in 1970.
Portions of this Primary Guidance, Navigation, and Control System (PGNCS) (pronounced "pings") unit also flew on Apollo 14, 15, 16, as well the three manned Skylab space station missions. The telescope and sextant you can actually look through were used by the astronauts traveling to the Moon on Apollo 14 and 16.
Because of a recall of beryllium metals throughout the government in the 1970s and 1980s for critical defense needs, the existence of a complete Apollo PGNCS, like this, is rare. This is one of only two complete units known to exist. The other is at the Draper Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Apollo kind of looks like he is trying to learn some new dance step and sticking his tongue out as he concentrates.
Meet one of our long term residents Apollo. We have worked very hard to bring this beautiful horse up to show grade. He was very young when we got him and completely green. He has developed into an amazing all rounder, but excels in jumping. Apollo is a very uncomplicated horse.
I have made Apollo from fleece fabric. His eyes are hand painted, His mane is acrylic yarn, His bride is made from faux leather which is removable. I have used non toxic paints for the detail on Apollo
He measures 11 inches from tip of nose to top of head, 13 inches from top of head to base of neck and 30 inches from top of head to base of stick.
I will ship this beautiful boy to anywhere in the world tracked

The Apollo survival kit provided 48 hours of survival supplies for the three-man crew. Displayed are the contents of one of two rucksacks.
Radio Beacon
The survival radio was a hand-held, dry-cell-battery-powered, electronic signal and voice communications device. The radio could be operated within the SC by using a connector cable to the SC antenna. A constant emergency-signal and voice-contact device was required to aid rescue teams if postlanding recovery was delayed. Voice reception increased from approximately 30 to 120 miles. Voice modulation improved and radio weight was reduced from 6 pounds to 4 pounds. Beacon range reception also increased to 120 nautical miles, for search aircraft operating at 10,000 feet.
Survival Blanket
Three pieces of nylon-Mylar material that are 60 by 42 inches are provided for the Apollo missions. The material could be used for thermal protection and for signal purposes.
Water Containers
Three water containers were included in the Apollo survival kit. A 1/4-inch-radius indention forming an "X" on each of the two largest sides of the water containers solved a deflection problem which occurred because of pressure differential. A few crewmen also stated that the aluminum caused the water to have an undesirable taste.

Century VI quatrain 33
His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.
