Thespian Trelawnyd

Much has been made of the "Cultural" side of the people of Trelawnyd
(See previous the 1958 Journal review of the Memorial Hall in the previous blog entry)
But up to relatively recent times pantomimes and plays were the norm in village life.
The above programmes are from two productions from 1966 and 1967 both produced by Terence A Jones who played the dame in both productions! (with music by the ubiquitous B.A.Jones!)
Rene Jones, David Owen , Margaret Roberts and Doreen Evans in Sleeping Beauty


Helen Ross, Susan Lewis,Margaret Owen, Glenys Jones and Tecwyn Savage in SLEEPING BEAUTY

  2. Village productions are usually very unique...watching neighbors act is fun! When I was young the community school I attended put on productions throughout the school year...I always intensely disliked being in one 'cause I was such a timid soul. But when the school ceased to exist a bit of the heart of the community did too!

  3. Hi John

    I used to work with Tecwyn, and sat on the Bench with his elder brother Austin who has recently retired, and who is I believe the only Olympic Athlete to have lived in Trelawnyd
