The School Play (Henry V)

There may have been other school plays at St. Michael's School but this is the only one I can remember.

I played the part of Salisbury while Keith Coleman played the part of Westmoreland. Stan Davidson (Head Boy) was Henry V but unfortunately I cannot remember who played Warwick but I think it may have been Michael Kemsley

I do remember that Jeremy Le Poer Power played the part of Mountjoy and Margaret Hawkins played a part and helped with the costumes which the school hired.

Henry Taylor and my father, W T Adams and Miss Hayes-Williams were all involved in some way with the production which was staged in Heacham as part of a show in connection with the Royal British Legion Remembrance Day.

In class I read the part of Pistol. I think I made a better job of this than I did playing the part of Salisbury in the play. John Annetts took the role of a French Soldier and Stephen Barker as a boy. All of this was under the Direction of Henry Taylor.

It was necessary for me to refer to my Shakespeare books when it came to write this article. If anyone can add anymore to these memories, I would love to hear from you.
