John Peel Theatre

Duet for Two Hands
February/ March 1960

This play had a rather longer life than previous productions. The club performed it later in March 1960 at Her Majesty’s Theatre Carlisle. A big step up for this small town group! In a following post I will also record Jack Martin’s guest appearance for Brampton Players in the same play later in the year.
Another puzzle appears on the back of the WTC programme in that there was a performance of three one-act plays held for “World Refugee Year 1960” in St. Ursula’s school hall two weeks later. WTC performed “The Four Marys”. I have no other record of this production. Does anyone else? St. Cuthbert’s girls’ club and the Friend’s school drama club also performed.
