I remember the Chichester Festival Theatre opening in 1962. I went to see several plays there over the years. One I remember well was The Royal Hunt of the Sun. Later, in the early 70s I worked there for 2 years first running the bookstall and later as an usherette. I met many stars including Tony Robinson who played in a Christmas production, Follow the Star and Diana Dors who appeared in Oedipus with Keith Michelle who was the theatre director at that time.
