Dick Whittington
By Alan Macrae, Barbara Macrae & Geoffrey Clarke. Directed by Barbara Macrae
Geoffrey Clarke’s pantomime, presented by arrangement with N.O.D.A. and produced by Barbara Macrae at the Parish Hall, Sanderstead, on Saturdays 13 and 20 January and Monday to Friday 15-19 January 1973. From a prologue in an old belfry, Dick goes from Cheapside and Fitzwarren’s shop to the Land of the Bells, then sails from the Port of London aboard “The Saucy Sue”, takes to a lifeboat and reaches the Palace of Morocco before the finale inside the Guildhall. The programme also announces Alan Winter’s Early Stages, a book on the club’s first fifty years, 1907-1957.
