'Twelfth Night'

venue

Guildhall

Dates

22nd - 27th March 1976

Director

Pat Laurie

'Twelfth Night' has always been a favourite play of ours and in March of 1976 it was the turn of our excellent director Pat Laurie to bring it to the stage for us.

This was the first 'Twelfth Night' that we brought to Derby's beautiful Guildhall theatre and we would return to the same stage with it again for productions of the play in 2009 and 2016.

Venita Cook provided the illustration for the programme cover and  John Locke composed music for the song 'Come Away Death'.

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