Spotlight, Theatre Reviews by Phyl Romeril for Guardian and Gazette Newspapers, January 14, 1993

A trip back in time.

It was back to the days of rationing, blackouts, dried egg and clothing coupons for Wadham Players 40s Show I'll be Seeing You.

They travelled along the road of remembrance with songs, words and humour of wartime and post war Britain.

Research had gone as far as costumes and hair styles, all of which added to the atmosphere.

There were a number of newcomers in the cast, for some it was the first time on stage.

Special items from ITMA, Butlin's first Holiday Camp, a helping of Vera Lynn, poetry and funny sketches added to this nostalgic anthology.

A few slips here and there had to be from a company of young people, who probably had no first hand knowledge of the styles of some of the characters portrayed.

The programme was complied and directed by Michael and Elaine Elliott. Pam Hodges did a magnificent job at the piano, Sally Elliott operated lights. John Hill choreographed and Dave Housden was responsible for the settings.
