Six Characters in Search of an Author (1974)
Directed by The Tutors
Performances: 25th – Sat 27th July 1974, Theatre
Contents
Introduction
Performed by the SLTC training classes (adult classes, yes we had them then).
Described as:- "This is one of the most original plays ever written dealing profoundly with the various kinds of truth found in the theatre, yet, at the same time, presenting an intensely dramatic (and, at times, humorous) story. It is a full-scale production on the stage, and will show you the talents available for the future. Please book early and give the students all the support you can. Tickets 20p."
The programme states that 'The action takes place on the stage of an empty theatre'. Unfortunately the main archive book for that year has no further details of the production.
