To be honest, I'm not convinced that all of these pictures come
from the same production, although they were all labelled as such in
the archive box. The above pictures are obviously correct, as one
can see from the newspaper cutting. However, those below seem to
feature at least one, if not two, totally different sets.
Hopefully somebody will be able to identify either the
productions, or the individuals, or both. Unfortunately, the failure
to give proper credit to the person who played Col. Protheroe does
not help. Presumably the director had experienced some difficulty in
casting this role, and had not done so at the time that the
programmes were printed. The reviewer obviously relied on the
programme for his information, as he doesn't give credit to the
colonel either. Frank Gettley, as stage manager, should read Frank
Kettley.
Regardless of the accuracy, or otherwise, of the photographic
record, this play does introduce us to a number of new faces,
including Lynda Leigh, who would make a substantial contribution to
the life of the Players over the coming years.
