Just a tiny thing, Scribs....isn't the group called the Broughton Amateur Dramatic Society - the BADS?
....and while my brain hurts - a rather pedantic snippet...
I think Nick Grafton joined SJN in 1981....he had a duel role, as a drama teacher and as a housemaster in the boarding house.....so Benny would have been about 14/15ish when he first met NG.
Break a leg!, as they say.
A bit of a Freudian slip above, Scribs....
NG had a 'dual' role.....but perhaps, as a drama teacher for teenagers, 'duel role' would be highly appropriate!!
Nick Grafton started at SJN back in 1976 when SJN became SJN and Brigg Grammar School disappeared.
Nick Grafton was spotted the other day at the National Theatre in London by an ex-SJN student of 20 years ago.
Nick was on a theatre producer's course.
It just goes to show, even in the Smoke, you can't avoid the eye of ex-SJN pupils.
The theatre is appropriately near the London Eye !!!
