The Rover images
Jason, who was so terribly injured that he had to drop out as A.D. on Lettice & Lovage, got back in high gear in time for The Rover. At left you see him engaged in painting at a late stage in the construction process. During performances, when the crew set the bed and cocked the mechanism, Jason lay behind it with his hand on a safety pin; just a bare moment before Blount's leap, Jason pulled the pin. Everybody figured the bed would have collapsed prematurely, no matter how many successful trials it went through in rehearsal.
Andy, another L&L alum, took a big part in this show and also contributed greatly to building the set for it. Here Cameron gives him some kind of paint note. Andy hates to paint; on the next show (The Royal Family), he found the only gallon of paint with a loose lid and overturned it into the black orchestra pit. No problem, though; the mop brigade helped him remove the bright yellow before it could dry.
