FA:
I was in a couple of the Student Shows. We were quite good again the ex-service people, I think as far as I can remember, were very active.
Interviewer:
And the Student Show was that something different from ordinary drama activities? Was it broader in its appeal?
FA:
Yes, well of course you did that in the Spring holiday so it was a four-week, concentrated rehearsal. Tremendous fun.
Interviewer:
Who were the leading lights of the show at that time?
FA:
Vincent Park.
Vincent Park
Interviewer:
Do you remember who produced them, were they professionally produced or ..?
FA:
A M Shinnie did one, now was that ‘Hooray for What’? I remember A M Shinnie doing one. Vincent Park did one of the two that I was in. They were very crafty when they put the poster up in front of His Majesty they put ‘directed by Vincent Price’ and you know Vincent Park, good publicity. I’ll tell you another person who was in them whose name is quite often on television, although he doesn’t appear in things, Allan Patillo who’s in some of the shows and he’s involved in the puppet thing, the space puppet thing [Thunderbirds].from a 1990 interview with Dr Frances Allen Dr Frances Allan, (fl. 1930 – 1990), (MB.
