Reading Pendragon Theatre – Welsh Wishing Well – 1951
An original theatre programme for Welsh Wishing Well at the Pendragon Theatre, Reading, dated 11 June 1951. The cast includes Beryl Crook, Michael Gregson, Gwyn Jenkins, Kevin Barry, Jeanne Thompson and Pauline Chalkley.
Like many repertory companies of the time, the Pendragon company presented a fresh play every week or two, with the same core of actors taking on very different roles.
Weekly rep programmes are a fascinating record of local theatre life, and this is a nice example of post-war theatre programmes from Reading.
