【正文】 near the theatre, and we’ve had difficulty finding somewhere suitable. We hope to reopen the shop in the next few months.MAN: Will audiences find any difference in the auditorium?LYNNE: Yes, we’ve increased the legroom between the rows. This means that there are now fewer seats but we’re sure audiences will be much happier. And we’ve installed air conditioning, so it won’t get so hot and stuffy. We already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and now there are twice as many, which we hope will meet demand. Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts. The two we used to have were small and slow. They’ve now gone, and we’ve got much more efficient ones.MAN: Anything for the performers?LYNNE: Yes, we’ve made a number of improvements backstage. The small dark dressing rooms we used to have have been converted into two large airy rooms, so they’re much more fortable now. And the stateoftheart electronic sound and lighting systems have been installed.MAN: OK, so what’s the first play that audiences can see when the theatre reopens?LYNNE: We’ve got a very exciting production of Peter Shaffer’s Royal Hunt of the Sun, which is currently touring the country. That starts on October the 13th and runs till the 19th. We’re experimenting bit with the time the curtain goes up. We used to start all our performances at , but that made it difficult for people to go home by public transport, so instead we’re beginning at 7. Because at , when it finished, there are still buses running. Tickets are already selling fast. The Friday and Saturday performances sold out almost immediately and, now there are only tickets for Monday and Thursday.MAN: How much are they?LYNNE: We’ve introduced a simpler price structure. Ticket prices used to range from 163。100 a year for a pany, and 163。30 but now they’re all 163。50 joining fee. The annual fee is 163。250—it’s 163。re under pressure. Even women in their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of confidence. The best way for them to overe this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people39。re earning, they39。A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn39。t yet considered is gender. So if we consider gender issues we39。d have to support myself without pay for each module.ANDREW: That39。modules39。t have much free time! ANDREW: What about the 39。d have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.ANDREW: What kind of coursework would I have to do?MONICA: Well, it39。t have to take any time off work or you could do what we call a 39。t want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.MONICA: Right, so you don39。s see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on youyour own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the moment?ANDREW: Yes. I39。ve certainly e to the right place. Hi, my name is Monica.ANDREW: Nice to meet you. My name is Andrew, Andrew Harris.MONICA: So, Andrew, have you seen our diploma course prospectus yet?ANDREW: Yes, I39。 the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find, was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily bee detached. The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice. As this cot will then be safe in every way, we have made the Mother39。t think that mattered too much. At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar, because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it, but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of “satisfactory. The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together unlike others we looked at. On the minus side, our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down, making it difficult to pick up newborn babies. However, the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars。s show we39。s three nine seven, four five, T.
