1990

As the millennium drew to a close, WADS staged a heady mix of classics, children’s stories, school stories for adults, plays about spies, about murder; tragedies and comedies. The decade pretty much started and ended with Noel Coward’s Blythe Spirit, and some other old favourites were revisited as well - Terrence Rattigan, Peter Terson, Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall in their own right; Emlyn Williams with his adaptation of Turgenev’s A Month in the Country. Mostly, there were two plays a year, except for 1992 and 1995, when there were three, and 1996, with just one. 

The nineties opened with All Things Bright and Beautiful by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall, followed by a double bill of act three of Noel Coward’s Blythe Spirit and Alan Ayckbourne’s Gosforth’s Fete.
