Compass Theatre Company
Sir Anthony Quayle's dream of forming a permanent touring company was a brave idea and, through his tireless efforts, produced some damn good productions until the Arts Council withdrew the funding. Still, we had fun while it lasted. I was involved in three productions, "After the Ball", "The Tempest" and "St Joan". Here are some random photos to give a feel of the great time we had touring Britain and the Far East.
