It was a production of Hamlet.
I am reading a book about the artist John Nash currently which says that Nash had his first solo exhibition at the Old Rep in May 1920 under the auspices of the poet and dramatist John Drinkwater (1882-1937). Drinkwater had shown himself to be a good friend and supporter of both John and Paul Nash.

Viv I'm so glad you've put this photo up, I lived in Cambridge tower behind the Hall of Memory at this time . As I was going into town I was walking were the Woodman pub was , Mr Chamberlain was obviously finished his work at the theatre for the day and was walking toward me . Brown belted leather coat white sneakers as the yanks call them and blue jeans I recognised him straightaway as I used to watch Dr Kildare a few years earlier . Thanks again Viv
