Mrs Linda Vallack, president
of the contact group in Barnard
C astle, welcomed Mr Bill
Sellers, director of the Georgian
Theatre Royal, Richmond, who
gave a most interesting talk.
He told first of how he became
interested in theatres and the
entertainm ent they provide. As
a young man he joined a concert
party. He later went to the BBC,
taking part in the production of
radio and TV programmes such
as D ad’s Army and All
Creatures Great and Small.
On re tirin g he moved to
Yorkshire. After a year he was
asked to become director of the
Georgian. It is the oldest, and
only, performing theatre in its
original form in England. It was
b u ilt in 1788 and seated 400
people. Performances were given
for two or three weeks each year
when Richm ond Races were
held.
After a visit by the Prince of
Wales, who later became King
George III, royal was added to
its name. It is still visited by
royalty today. The theatre was
closed for 100 years from 1838.
In 1994 re s to ra tio n work
began and some money for this
was received from Europe and
the lottery, the rest being given
or raised by local people. Now
there are only 200 seats and perform ances a rc h eld betw een
| April and December. Often the
sale of tickets does not cover the
cost of a show.
Behind the theatre is a muse­
um and there are guided tours of
both from Easter until October.
The theatre, which is run by vol­
untary staff, relies on tourists as
well as locals to provide income.
Mr Sellers is pleased to welcome
any visitors or groups of people.
After Mrs Vallack gave a vote
of th a n k s cakes and produce
w ere sold and su b sc rip tio n s
were received.
