I began my working life at this wonderful old theatre, in 1966-7, as a student ASM. I worked for one repertory season, which included the musical Salad Days, and stayed on for the pantomime season, which was Cinderella, directed by Roy Rolland and choregraphed by Johnny Worthy. I have some very happy memories of that time in my life and I’m delighted to see the building has been listed, though I wish it could be a theatre again.
