Vanessa Scammell

She claimed that she had told the women about the dressing room kiss and being straddled on the couch.

She also said that C2 had confided to them all, that the blocking had changed on stage and that things were becoming more affectionate or advanced than she was comfortable with.

She also claimed that the first understudy had told her that she had been pushed against a wall by Craig and he had tried to kiss her and that there was inappropriate touching on stage.

Sounds damning, doesn't it?

But what was the evidence from the other complainants?

Well, C2 could only remember that she went to C3's dressing room on the last day of the show and that C3 had told her that Craig had come into her dressing room and forced himself upon her.

Allegations that had never been made by C3.

C2 also claimed that she had confided in C3 that she was worried about what would happen on that last show and could she keep watch on her during the I'm going home number.

Somehow, C2 knew that Craig was going to assault her in that going-home scene that night.

But again, C3 gave no such qualifying evidence.

The conversation simply didn't occur.

C2 then went on to claim that during a meet-up with the other women, they had not exchanged versions of any offending, i.e.

there was no detail of any type of incident involving Craig whatsoever.

Furthermore, the first understudy then said that during the gathering, which was late in the run of the show, she didn't talk about any incidents in that meeting, nor could she remember anything that her best friend C2 had said,

let alone anything, C3 had said.

Brave and honest, when not a single account matched, where no such evidence of any discussion in a dressing room concerning Craig exists.

If C3 had indeed confided in these women about assaults, surely they would recall that.

Surely they would have all left the room in shock.

Surely action would have been taken.'

Further, C3 then said in court there was a follow-up meeting to this.
