Richard Baker introduces the story of the Cambridge Arts Theatre told through interviews with nine people closely involved with the Theatre during its sixty-year history.
A1: As a friend and colleague of John Maynard Keynes, and the first Chairman of the Cambridge Arts Theatre Trust, George Rylands has a unique story to tell.
A2: The Cambridge University Marlowe Dramatic Society has always been closely associated with the Arts Theatre. Tim Cribb is currently Senior Treasurer of the Society and has been involved in researching its history.
A3: Although now involved with the Arts Theatre as a director and teacher, Stephen Siddall's story goes back to the days when he used to come and see the pantomime every year.
A4: As an undergraduate Simon McBurney performed frequently at the Arts Theatre. As founder of the theatre company Théâtre de Complicité, he directed the last show to play at the Arts Theatre before it closed in 1993.
A5: One of today's finest comic actors, Stephen Fry began his professional career on the stage of the Arts Theatre.
B1: There have only been three General Managers of the Arts Theatre since it opened. Andrew Blackwood was the second, taking over from Norman Higgins in 1958 and staying for 32 years.
B2: The Architect behind the new design scheme, Barry Brown remembers the Theatre well from his undergraduate days in the Footlights Society.
B3: Until 1994 Jeremy Newton was Chief Executive of the Eastern Arts Board and is therefore well placed to discuss the Arts Theatre's contribution to the artistic life of the region.
B5: As the present Chief Executive of the Arts Theatre Trust, Stephen Walton is the driving force behind the redevelopment of the theatre and its operation.
