Here are 18 interview transcripts. A good number were conducted by Mike Tyler, such as the one with Eileen Skaife in 1999, to whom the archive is indebted. She acted as an amateur in productions, beginning in 1951 when she was 29. 22 pages, recorded on 19 August 1999. Filed as YMP/C/1/1.
Filed as YMP/C/1/3 is an interview with Joyce
Johnson by Mike Tyler in September 1999. As an 18 year old she saw the Plays in 1951. Emphasises the cold.
Plays were scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday so that if it
rained on Monday your ticket was valid for Tuesday. 12 pages.
In April 2001 Mike Tyler recorded an interview with John M Hall, who describes throughtfully and dramatically acting in the plays in 1988, 1992, 1996, 1998 and 2000. A new memoire has been contributed by author Andrew Martin, who as a boy was in the 1976 production.
