Donald Albery; audiences; The Boys in the Band; The Caretaker; The Intimate Theatre, Lyceum Theatre Crewe; Palmers Green; lighting; rep; Swansea theatre; theatre criticism; theatre going; theatre owners; tickets and reservations. DS: Can we start by talking about your first experience as a theatre goer with the theatre? SW: My first experiences will have been when I was between the ages of five and seven, and will have been taken by my parents many times. Firstly, I remember going to the Finsbury Park Empire as a birthday treat to see Barbara Kelly in the touring version of Peter Pan. DS: What year would this be? SW: It could have been, I suppose, 1954 - can’t quite remember how old I was, but certainly between ’52 and ’54, and through the fifties going to the theatre was a regular thing. Yes. We had a television, it was bought for me - I suppose as an incentive to recover from pneumonia, and sadly I did recover and they were 51 guineas down the shoot! But we didn’t watch it all the time. There was a choice to be made, it wasn’t on all the time, it was on or it was off, and Saturdays we used to go to Wood Green Empire. Mainly it was taking, I guess, number two tours or number three tours in those days, of West End successes, so we will have seen a play, such as Meet Mr Callaghan… Reluctant Heroes I remember.
