WHO IS CLAIRE BUGDEN?
Production Manager

Nazis have had a lot of bad press of late. But why? Dressing in black and red is very fashionable and high leatherboots really do add a certain je ne sais quoi.

At least that's what Hamlet's Production Manager, Claire 'Himmler Suzie' maintained on set during the shoot. It also lends a certain air of authority, and aided very much the actors to get into true character prior to their deaths on screen.

As Claire points out, authentic deaths and screams are what every actor aspires to and added to this "if one or two do accidentally get killed then that's just a few royalties you don't have to pay".

Whatever else, when Claire's on a production things don't dare go wrong. Who am I to disagree? - I've seen what she can do with a couple of red hot teaspoons.

WHO IS MANUELA BARROS?
Production Assistant

Manuela was employed on the production for two very good reasons. But she proved useful as well.

On shoots there are always times when people are waiting around and general morale boosters like organising wet tee shirt competitions proved immensely popular.
