Hi Bernard,
Have you ever visited the Minack Theatre in Cornwall? They perform all sorts of plays – including Shakespeare – and prom-style concerts. We couldn’t properly visit due to unfortunate circumstances, but did purchase a DVD with some interesting information. It’s run by a mix of paid and voluntary staff, some of whom also act parts. Construction of the theatre itself was started by an enigmatic and stoic woman by the name of Rowena Cade in the 1930’s. By the time of her death in 1983, local friends and family became involved with the administrative and day-to-day running of the trust, adding to and improving the layout ever since. As dramatics is one of your keen hobbies, thought I’d mention it.
