John Drinkwater

I'm putting this here because of his connection with the Rep.

The latest journal of the Friends of the Dymock Poets has a very long article by Catherine Hindson about Drinkwater's connection with the Cadbury factory. It's too long to summarise, but I'll quote one sentence: "he had a long-standing professional relationship with the Birmingham-based cocoa and chocolate producer that spanned two decades, working with their employees to make and perform theatre."

When he died in 1937, there was a long obituary in the Cadbury's staff publication.
