On the 26th February 1934, the stage manager for the premiere of Love on the Dole, Audrey Cameron, brought in a copy of the original novel, and asked the entire named cast to sign it. This (admittedly long, but also copiously illustrated) article pays tribute to the signatories – that original cast of the Manchester Repertory Theatre – by tracing their careers before and after Greenwood and Gow’s play – and in some cases showing how it helped transform them into stars of both theatre and cinema (not to mention radio and television).
- Best wishes, Chris.
