As there seems to be lots of nostalgia about the Nottingham Playhouse,thought you would /might be interested in this old recording.It will provide hours of happy guessing to remember where it all was.

Better still, when posting a message hit the rte-switch-editor.png button top right of the message box.

When you see a double border to the box, you can post any links directly.

I have just paused on 3 min 20 secs and we are in the old Playhouse, I ran the pub in this location circa 1996. When you went upstairs to the function room , you could still see the fittings where the seats were, sloping down to the auditorium.

Money was tight in the 60`s, (come to think it was up until the 90`s) but Mrs C and I managed to see 2 productions at The Playhouse, Love and a Bottle, a restoration comedy by George Farquhar with Barry Rutter, and Sean O`Casey`s The Silver Tassie, can't remember who was in that. Both productions immensely enjoyable and more so as it took all of our meagre resources to go, but the fact that I still recall them quite vividly must show what the experience meant to us.
