Head of English, Mr Bromyard, directed the Sheffield Newfield Secondary School play in what must be around 1967/69. The play was entitled ‘Listen to the Wind’. Not quite sure what it was about other than three kids who were captured by gypsies (I played one of the kids, Jemima) who, I suppose, must have been freed in the end (as I’m still here, fourty years later, to tell the tale!) I remember Dr White (ing), a science teacher at the school, was dramatically feathered as a ‘jail-bird’ in the play. There was also a Mermaid character played I think by Isabel somebody-or-other.
I’ve still got the photos – I’ll have a stab at the names…

Hi must have been in 1968 as I was there is 67 and we did a french play can’t remember the name but it was Christmas play, up to that year they had always had a Gilbert and Sullivan Musical, but our year we had low numbers so they decided on a play instead. I was there from 1963 – 1967
