Memorial Hall, Taunton School, 16^th – 18^th September, 1943

One of the programmes from this difficult year contains the following paragraph which is of interest: “The Thespians In Wartime – To meet the real demand for plays in the town, (the Taunton Thespians) are increasing the number of their productions and perform at other times of the year, in smaller halls, but with the same care and finish. Just as valuable are the tours of military camps, aerodromes and hospitals, which follow their public performances... To carry out this extensive programme means much effort and the sacrifice of hard-earned leisure, but the appreciation which the Thespians meet on all sides is ample reward.” Outreach indeed.
