Thurrock Youth Theatre - East Lynne - Margaret Morgan

Thurrock Youth Theatre presented a version of the old Victorian melodrama "East Lynne" at Ockendon Courts school, in 1966, in which I played the part of Archibald Carlyle. It was one of those plays that involve a lot of over-acting, but it was a lively production and very well-received by the audience.

Margaret Morgan was also in the play. Margaret was one of those perfect women who we only meet once in a lifetime - I wish I had had the courage to invite her out on a date.
