'Romeo & Juliet'

venue

Railway Institute

Dates

20th - 28th February 1948

Directors

A. G. Revill & E. D. Marsden

1948's production of 'Romeo & Juliet' was our second and was performed on alternating days alongside 'The Winter's Tale', our other show of that year.

'Romeo & Juliet' featured music especially recorded by local performers and a dance arranged by Constance Gray. This production also saw the first appearance of perhaps our most famous member - Alan Bates, the renowned stage and screen actor, who joined us as a young man and appeared here as Mercutio's page.

We hope to be able to add more information and photographs from this production soon.
