Reg Bolton, Annie Stainer, Brian Rapkin & who else?
Looks like this roll of film was mainly from rehearsals & portrait shots rather than the show itself.
Reg was the director of Theatre Workshop Edinburgh between 1971-'74. They ran community arts projects, workshops, trips to the zoo etc! During this time they also produced 10 original shows for children.
A really nice roll of photos from an early 70's community arts project. Reg seems to be some kind of 'explorer' character. Looks like it was a lot of fun, possibly a Theatre Workshop Edinburgh project & we would love to know who else was involved in this one...
These slides were in an unlabelled black box but I'm guessing that they're from Theatre Workshop Edinburgh which means they were taken some time between '71 & '74. Each slide had the name of the kid written on it, but I don't know any of them because I probably wasn't born yet! Did you visit Theatre Workshop Edinburgh in the '70s, is this you 30 years ago?
I'm guessing this Suitcase Circus Pilton Circus Tour happened in 1978, at least that's when the film was developed. I see Reg, The Ramseys, Danny Hignett, Pete Simpson & others I don't recognise...
Reg was co-ordinator and presenter of this award-winning 'Suitcase Circus International' with members of 12 different youth circuses, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 1984
