The poster for the world premiere of Comic Potential at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 1998. The idea for the poster was conceived by Alan Ayckbourn, but he was never entirely happy with how his suggestion of a 'Terminator'-like robot arm throwing a custard pie into a face was actually realised.
