Wick Theatre Company
Wick Theatre’s entry of John Osborne’s The Entertainer ran into production difficulties and had to be postponed. To fill the theatre two one-acts plays – The Dumb Waiter & Anorak of Fire – were produced.
The BHAC acknowledged the cancellation and attended the October 7th performance. An informal adjudication was given. The evening was not part of the competition.
