The Rivals
This production was the first under the auspices of the Theatre Royal Windsor Trust and marked the reopening of the theatre after a six-week closure during which Carl Toms redesigned and refurbished the interior. The Queen and a royal party of 37 attended the opening night. (‘The Queen at Windsor Royal opening’, The Stage 24th June 1965, page 8.)
