is this crazy or what how can a theatre just fall off the face of the earth, i made a mistake saying it may be the Rep as i found a pic of the outside in 1983 and it was different to my memory , which is ok believe me, i really dont think that this will ever be answered which is a real pity for me and for the memory of that theatre and all who worked there so here are all the little bits and pieces of that time and theatre which i can remember, as well as Michael being the theatre director his second in command at the theatre was Tony a major shareholder in the the theatre group who owned that and many other theatres, sorry cant remember the groups name before you ask, tony again a man who was so gay if you looked up gay in the dictionary it was just a pic of Tony, short dark curly hair, again he died of cancer in approx 1986.
The theatre had its own in house singers/musicians who became my friends the only persons name i can recall from all 28 of them was Ray the piano player he was in his 70s tall and a blues player, i got him alot of work in ablues club not far from the theatre he became well know around that area, sorry no surname!!!
At my peak the theatre directors would take me to the most expensive and exclusive restaurant which again was not that far from the theatre to show how expensive this place was the wine they ordered all the time was £4,200 a bottle yes i do remember being shocked to my core at the price as i was just a young man,dinner was £400 each ,so which restaurant would you say matches up to that sort of cost and standard remember this was 1982/3 any one give me an idea of a name?,
Dont think i have any more info for you at all but thanks again for every thing.
