My memory is of Bert Biscoe taking me up to the Council Chamber and proudly showing me my great, great, great grandfather’s election address to the ‘People of Truro’ which he had hung on the wall.
Putting my back out getting into a onesie backstage and face-planting in the Stage Right Wing. I lay there rigid for an hour before being carried into the orchestra pit and playing a show in said onesie. I had to stay in the onesie for 3 days.
My children were terrified by the colourful drapes in the foyer. They called them the ‘Avenging Angels’
Mrs Proctor – “Mr Biscoe, I’ve lost my council tax bill – you must find it else I’ll end up under the Town clock and then I’ll be for it!”
Saw my first theatre at the Hall – Footsbarn in ‘Giant’. I was a very small boy and was transfixed and transported. I can still see the Giant 50 something years later in my minds eye and remember how much I laughed.
I used to run an Air BnB and as guests we had the Grandma from ‘The Addams Family’, a character from a play about business, an operatic singer and a violin player. It felt like we were part of the show.
Roughly in 1948, when I was a little girl, my family went to the circus. 70 years ago. Well, a Lion got out and passed between us – what a memory!
My favourite memory is the beer festivals! We love Cornwall!
I remember doing ‘Old Thyme’ musical on the old stage when it was the market in the 1970s.
I liked Joseph and the musicals. It was really good.
