Quotes & Notes
During 1960, Alan Ayckbourn's career was predominantly concentrated on acting at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre, Scarborough. He was part of the acting company in both the summer and winter seasons and his playwriting was limited to one show, Dad's Tale, during the winter season.Review extract from unknown publication (July 1960)
"White-haired and bearded, David Campton made an impressive Noah. Light relief was introduced by Derrick Gilbert as Ham, the youngest son. The other two sons, Japheth, the worker, and Shem, the thinker, were dramatically portrayed by Alan Ayckbourn and David Glover."
