We had a great run through of the play on Tuesday, 23 July at The Berwick Arms, Milton.  Yes, the play is too long and needs some tweaking but "it will be alright on the night", so they say - fingers crossed 🤞.

 

 

Mervyn Edwards as William Daniel.

In the background is Sherrin Bergqvist as Julie Angel, the psychic medium, and Ava Simpkin as Emily, in the modern day story.

    Kat Inglis playing Susan in 1886 and Sue in the modern Era.  Most exacting                                            parts   as Kat was hardly ever away from the microphone, but she was    marvelous.

Meredith Small as Jean.  She was also a neighbour, in 1886, Mrs Latham.

 

Paul Nugent, playing John William from 1886 and Dave from the Modern Era

MAP SHOWING THE MURDER SITE

In Leadendale Lane, just at the bottom of the map.

The George and Dragon Inn, Rough Close. Details provided to me from Mervyn Edwards (also starring in the play) The photo was taken in the 1990s by Norman Scholes (deceased, now, I believe.

Of course the pub has been demolished now and a housing estate built. It could well be the Dragon Court housing estate, unless someone out there knows differently.
