(The Programme is below the photos.)
“We took over the Civic Theatre, and so had 'proper' dressing rooms and a 'proper' stage and lighting, also 'proper' hired costumes. And, of course, the boys from the Mod were involved! There's a particular line during the last act which always got a guffaw from the lads during rehearsals. The heroine, Mabel, calls on the hero to rescue her from the pirates and the (sung) response is 'Beautiful Mabel, I would if I could but I am not able'. I could never understand what was funny about that... (think I've worked it out since!)” Elisabeth Stephenson ’59-’66
