The production team behind the world premiere of CLASS in 2006 was reunited for 2007's production. The revised cast for the new production was confirmed after auditions in May 2007.

The team includes the key members of the original CLASS production team:
  Kirsty Eyre: writer and director.
  Nigel Oatway: assistant director.
  David Harvey: technical director.

We all have (or had!) day-jobs, and produced CLASS in the remaining time!

“Bringing the
 show …
ALIVE!”

Kirsty Eyre: Writer and Director
Kirsty Eyre is the writer and director of CLASS. After writing and producing several musical pantomimes, drawing in the crowds at London Waterloo’s Network Theatre she went on to write CLASS in 2005.

Kirsty attained sponsorship from Eurostar for her first pantomime (a sell-out) and was then commissioned to write further musical productions: A Musical Murder Mystery, You’re A Star Academy and Cattle Class. She went on to translate her Musical Murder Mystery into French with a complete comedy overhaul to suit French audiences in Paris.

On stage, Kirsty’s performances include Dracula in Dracula, Anita Man Eater in Murder on the Eurostar, Sarah in Female Transport and a mad doctor in Monsieur de Pourceaugnac. She is also a member of a London dance company and has choreographed stage work. This all contributes to Kirsty’s ability to bring a script to life in a spectacularly visual way.

CLASS was a box office sell-out at its Network Theatre debut, where it was directed by Kirsty in June 2006. It is now back by popular demand.

“Smooth
running
behind the scenes”
 

David Harvey: Technical Director
David Harvey is technical director and stage manager for CLASS. He has been contributing to smooth-running behind the scenes in a range of capacities for over 25 years. He started in secondary school and subsequently with a number of amateur dramatic societies, with a foray into student TV at university.

Involved in almost 50 productions to date, David has experience in a wide range of skills including set design and construction, sound design and operation, flying and crewing, in theatres of varying design including traditional proscenium arch (with and without flying) and studio/in-the-round settings.

In about a third of those productions David has been stage manager (including CLASS), priding himself in arranging for effective and snag-free running of the production, through careful planning and preparation, and full collaboration with the director and all departments. At present David is Company Stage Manager for Network Theatre.
