More about the History Project

Some really great additions this update include some of the large gaps in our records of the board members for the 1990s. There are now only a couple of places we are still missing information for board members.

Some interesting items in this update include information about productions we have previously had no information on, including the 1994 production of Steel Magnolias. There are also some entertaining reviews of the one-act play Fumed Oak, which was staged in 1950. The media added to the production includes potent Letters To The Editor from Christian members of the community, outraged by the production, as well as people staunchly defending the production. The play was presented at the Royal South Street Society one-act play festival and won second place.

Items from this update

Below is a small number of the items that have been digitised and added to the historical productions on the website.
