We don't have any information about this play
save what can be gleaned from the programme itself. Unfortunately
the helpful (from an archivist's point of view) practice of
providing programme notes, which have been a feature over
recent years, appears to have been discontinued. I note,
however, that the production introduces no less than four new acting
members, plus a new producer and further new helpers behind the
scenes.
While we have no pictures of the
production, we do have (by courtesy of the Fairlight W.I.) a picture
of the interior of the hall as it looked in July 1964. This shows
quite vividly what a cosy affair these early performaces must have
been. The exit doors appear to be in the centre
of the back wall of the hall (i.e. the road end). Presumably this
door was blocked up when the doctor's surgery was added, and the new exit
created through the extension which houses the kitchen and the toilets. |
