Review of the time |
anon |
"The Unity Players (Drama Section) staged their first production before a large and appreciative audience".
In August 2008 this email arrived from Tom Craig;
"My wife and I were members of the Unity Youth Clubs Young Wick Players in 1950. I am Tom Craig, not Thomas as shown in the record of the first production of four one act plays. My wife was then Mary George. She was at school with Betty Carpenter. We remember the fun we all had in those days and the resourcefulness that was necessary to get us 'off the ground' - for example, the footlights for that first production in the Red Triangle as the YMCA Hall in The Twitten in Southwick was called, consisted of about 6 batten lamp holders screwed to Mary's Mum's clothes line prop! This was my first and last effort at 'props' as soon after that I went off to do my National Service so, although I was in 'Raikes Cross' I was certainly not in 'Villa for Sale' in the 1951 production of three one act plays - it looks as though the wrong cast list got into the 1951 record.
Mary and I lived in Southwick most of our lives until soon after we married in 1953 and moved away. We remember with affection nearly all of the people whose names were listed in that record of the 1950 production and many of the names in following productions.
We now live in Kelowna in British Columbia, Canada."
