* The programme commented upon the 1990 decision to “augment the Festival by the inclusion of a Youth Drama Festival. This new departure won the warm approval of our audiences, who feel, as we do, that it is to the youth that we must look for the future of our drama achievement. Hopefully they will, in their turn, pass on the torch in years to come, and so ensure the continuation of the Southwick Festival to the credit of us all.”
