So pleased to become new member of the Forum and amongst other experiences tap into people's memories over the years of the wonderful Nottingham Playhouse and other theatres in the area left, upon marriage, in 1957. As a child I was first taken to the Empire where George Formby played the ukelele. At the age of twelve it was to the Theatre Royal to see Julie Andrews in the pantomime Little Red Riding Hood (she signed a prized autograph book at the stage door). Teenage years spent at the nationally long gone and sorely missed "rep". In our case the old Playhouse. Believe we saw Judi Dench,
