Another from 1969. This was one of the last shows at the Saville Theatre in the top part of Shaftesbury Avenue before it became a cinema ( now the Odeon Covent Garden ). The building still retains many of its beautiful original architectural features. Leonard Rossiter was a brilliant stage actor although better known for his film and TV roles ( Rigsby and Reginald Perrin spring to mind ). Although there was quite a large cast for this production it was very much centred around one of Rossiter’s wackier over the top performances. The ads in the programme give the impression that theatre ( in London anyway ) had become a form of entertainment for the relatively well-off. The show had come from the Glasgow Citizens Theatre via Nottingham Playhouse in both of which venues I imagine the ticket prices were much more reasonable.
