'Henry VI (Part II)'
venue
Railway Institute
Dates
25th February - 1st March 1952
Directors
A. G. Revill & L. H. Titmuss
This was our first and, to date, only production of 'Henry VI (Part II)'.
It was usual at this time for the production teams of our shows to be made up from the same, relatively small, group of hard-working and highly skilled members. 1952 marked a change of role for Bill Titmuss within this team as he stepped up to co-produce this show alongside the long-established director and performer George Revill.
The programme for the show also featured a diagram of the line of royal succession as pictured below.
We hope to be able to add more information and photographs from this production soon.
