History
They were regular playgoers in Dundee and for decades and attended most first nights at Dundee Rep. They were also heavily involved in the two very separate Dundee theatre clubs, The Theatre Club and The Playgoers Club. Their names appear together on cast lists for Playgoers Club amateur playreadings immediately post-war, while they were courting. Their collection of rep programmes begins about 1939 when the core of the company were performing on various Dundee stages prior to the acquisition of Forester’s Halls in Nicoll Street. The collection has only a couple of short chronological gaps, corresponding to the infancy of their two children, Derek and Peter, and continues more or less unbroken through to the 2010s.
