First performed by the Players way back in 1955 under the title
"And It Was Odd" (see notes on earlier
production for an explanation of the change of name), anybody
wishing to see this for a second time would have to pay about five
times as much for the privilege ... "80p - that's 16 bob in old
money!". And I bet one or two of the original cast would have been
in the audience to see what the young whipper-snappers could do with
it.
We originally thought that we had no
pictures of this production, but logic suggests that the pictures
now reproduced here, which come from our unlabelled "mystery"
collection, fit the bill. The best clue is the presence of Christmas
decorations, which matches the scene as described in the script.
The number of characters also appears to be a good match, and I hope
that somebody reading this will be able to identify a number of the cast
in order to confirm my hypothesis. I purposely didn't say "confirm or deny" because,
if the pictures are not of this production, then I am totally
stumped.
Two cast members (Keith Thompson and Belinda Creed) make
their respective debuts this time, and John Charrot is mentioned
for his first time in the programme helping out with stage
management. |
