Publisher's Synopsis
When they first met in the cellar green room at Colchester Repertory Theatre in 1962, there was little indication that Jaqueline Harrison and Simon Barnes were destined to build a Theatre in Wales and manage and direct its work from 1976 for over 35 years.Despite 'claim jumping' attempts, despite repeated rejections of finance, accompanied by Welsh Arts Council jeers: 'How do you think you can build aTheatre without the Art Council'- LLANDOVERY THEATRE exists todayThese are the records of their journey - comic and tragic by turn, at times even downright dangerous, yet despite working alongside penury and rejection as an almost permanent way of life - dozens of plays were written, produced and performed, and at the final 'parting' both actors still maintained their passion for the magic of Theatre and their love for one another.This memoir is part history, part love story.If you believe in the power of love, don't let this story pass you by. Horatio Nelson - Theatre CatWanted Reckless Band of Angels!
