Last five observations
- To Old Vic Company production of Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare, The Old Vic, London, 18th April 1961 (press night): “I have added character names from my programme to the cast list supplied by University of Bristol. Thomas Kempinski is not listed in my programme but several additional Lords etc are. I have not amended the cast list to reflect this. However, I have uploaded my programme.”
- To Old Vic Company production of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, The Old Vic, London, 1960 - 1961: “I have amended the cast list to include the names of the main characters. For some reason the majority of the actors listed (from the University of Bristol) differ from the cast list in my programme a copy of which I have uploaded.”
- To Loophole Productions production of Pieties, by Michael Heath, Theatrespace, London, 22nd August - 2nd September 1978: “Edward Seckerson was to go on to become a respected music critic and broadcaster. He is an authority on musical theatre.”
- To Loophole Productions production of McCarthy, by Victor Lewis, University Theatre, Manchester, 16th - 18th February 1972: “In the Manchester Free Press, Roy Johnson wrote: “The lead role was a tour de force by Coronation Street’s Peter Adamson. Working with a small cast and minimal props he gave a compelling performance which ranged from the cynical dynamism of McCarthy’s early successes to an almost pathos-tinged characterisation of his later alcoholism and paranoia…….as a theatrical event it provided the satisfaction and the provocation which are all too rare in many contemporary artistic experiences.””
- To Loophole Productions production of McCarthy, by Victor Lewis, University Theatre, Manchester, 16th - 18th February 1972: “Beryl Jones, in her Manchester Evening News review, wrote: “The play is fast, clever, funny, and a splendid vehicle for Peter Adamson in the title role. He bluffs his way manfully through McCarthy’s early career, then seems to disintegrate physically until the dreaded investigator is only a drunken ham.””
