Angus Willson (April 2020)<\/em>: The school play seemed to be an important part of school life either as a participant or as an audience member. In our era these will be remembered as Antigone, Rape of the Locks (1970) and Zigger Zagger (1971). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently went through some bookshelves and found marked up copies with inserted programmes, make-up instuctions and stage directions. I have held a vivid memory, and the terror, of being the first on stage in a stiff, long ‘dress’, a long stick and the itchiest beard imaginable.
