The unique and remarkable history of repertory theatre at the Manor Pavilion in Sidmouth, Devon, is told for the very first time in this new book.
A history starting with the construction of the building in 1891, with appearances along the way from luminaries such as Stanley Holloway and Margaret Rutherford, it took one Ronald Govey, to start the summer repertory season at the theatre in 1958 – and it is still going! Under the stewardship of Govey, Charles Vance and Paul Taylor-Mills, this theatre has thrived in the face of funding crises, poor management and lack of support, but it has survived.
Over 900 productions are listed and many interviews feature with those who have been part of this special theatrical institution. 300+ images of performances, stars and memorabilia make this a book for anyone interested in theatre in the UK.
