What a wonderful interview, the Theatre holds wonderful memories for me, I am 45 and as a child my family lived in Strafford. I have seen many shows as a child there. I am now a student at writtle college Art and Design and have decided to use the Theatre for my final project. This interview was brillent and so enjoyable. I hope to make it to strafford in the near future for further production. Thank you so much
