by Roland Pertwee
venue
Guildhall
Dates
11th - 16th April 1983
Director
Bette Ezaz
Bette Ezaz directed and appeared in our 1983 production of 'Pink String & Sealing Wax', Roland Perwee's drama of plotting and poison.
James Dean created a wonderful period set for the production which perfectly set the sinister mood for the splendid cast to bring the story to life.
At this time we were still known as Derby Shakespeare Society and it was the custom for non-Shakespearean plays to be performed under the name of the Globe Players. This practice was abandoned following our change into the Derby Shakespeare Theatre Company in 1987 and from that point onward all productions were done under the company name, regardless of the author.
