I then painted the black background using lots of linseed oil to thin certain areas and get some interesting textures in the background as I didn't want it to be a plain solid black. After this step I used some turpentine to get some more transparent and textured parts below the neck as I unfortunately covered it a bit more than I intended to, making it look like a weirdly floating head with the top part out of frame.
Poster for Mildred Pierce, 1945
Starting her career as a vaudeville dance and progressing to silent movie 'it girl', Joan Crawford (active 1924-77) became a top tier Hollywood actor and was named Time magazine's first ever 'Queen of Movies' in 1937. Crawford's ambition and drive far outstripped her early chorus dancer roles. Adept at self-promotion, she boosted her profile with public appearances, which eventually led to major studio interest and starring roles in movies such as Our Dancing Daughters, Untamed and Dance, Fools, Dance.

By the end of the 1930s, Crawford fell from being one of Hollywood's highest paid stars to being labelled 'box office poison' due to failing ticket sales. A career hiatus followed, broken by her Academy Award-winning turn as troubled mother Mildred Pierce, a role her peers had shunned due to associated age implications. Crawford accepted the Award from her bed, having avoided attending the ceremony due to doubts she would lose to Ingrid Bergman.*

DIVA
(June 2023 to April 2024)
DIVA celebrated the power and creativity of iconic performers, exploring and redefining the role of 'diva' and how this has been subverted or embraced over time across opera, stage, popular music, and film.
In the 16th century, as the female performer emerged from the all-male actor troupes, so did the diva. An Italian word commonly used since the 14th century to describe goddesses or deities, 'diva' became a fitting description for exceptional female performers whose divine talents made them appear other-worldly.

The ever-popular (Sir) Terry Pratchett OBE makes a welcome return to the stage at Progress Theatre, in another wonderful adaptation by Stephen Briggs. If you like your comic fantasy turned up to the maximum you will be delighted with this show. The many people who loved our production of Maskerade will be delighted to see the return of those memorable characters, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, in this tale of witches and royalty, loosely based on Macbeth. Very loosely.
The ambitious wife of Duke Felmet persuades him to murder his cousin, King Verence I of Lancre. An escaping servant gives the King's crown and child to three witches. They hand the child to a troupe of travelling actors and hide the crown in the props-box. So destiny can take its course and the child can one take his rightful place as king, right? Well things are never simple with these witches.
People have travelled from far afield to see our previous productions of Pratchett's Discworld works, so book early to avoid disappointment.
I had pizza boxes lying out to kill off the grass here (they actually helped quite a bit!) Here's my progress on garden thus far. I'm going to rip out the grass up to the wooden table that's on the left (just barely in the frame). I'll also be moving around a lot of the shrubs I bought.
