For Better, For Worse
Reviewed in Belfast News-Letter, 5 October 1954, p. 5, the day after the opening night of the theatre. “Before the presentation of the play, the Mayor of Bangor, Councillor David Ewart, declared the theatre open. He was introduced by Mr J Mallinson, manager of the theatre, and thanked on behalf of the company by Miss [Margery] Mason. The theatre, which can accommodate 300, was packed for the opening performance. Among those present were members of Bangor Council and their wives.”

Play description
“A slight but humorous piece. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up in slapstick, witty phrases and extravagant coincidence. Marriage on a shoestring budget in a one-room flat lends itself to such comedy.” – Belfast News-Letter 5th October 1954 (page 5)
