Last five observations
- To production of Treasure Island, by J B Fagan, Bristol Old Vic - Theatre Royal, 1946 - 1947: “I saw this (must have been in very early 1946 or perhaps 1947 – I had missed the family outing to the pantomime (at the Hippodrome) through having measles, and was taken to Treasure Island as a compensation. A brilliant production for a stage-struck young boy. The cast list doesn’t include Bernard Miles but I am sure he was playing Long John Silver – an acrobatic feat including using the galleries of the theatre as ship’s rigging, with actors climbing around on ropes and nets. Am I right in remembering that the staging incorporated a re-creation on stage of King Street and the Llandoger Trow, very atmospheric? (I may be remembering “Christmas in King Street”, a Slade & Reynolds production that I haven’t found on this website. Can’t remember the date but probably 1950s or early 1960s.)”
- To production of Murder in the Cathedral, by T S Eliot, Bristol Old Vic - Theatre Royal, 1953 - 1954: “I had done Eliot’s three plays (all he had written so far) for English GCE in 1953 and was delighted to have the chance to get away from school and see Eric Porter playing Becket (I played the part in an amateur production iN Nottingham in 1985!) The cast list above doesn’t say what part he played but it was of course Becket. I can’t remember what part Dorothy Reynolds might have played but I saw her in a number of later productions.”
