I was at Bletchley Park from 1943-1945 (see my other entry under I was one of Churchills Geese).
During my time at Bletchley Park, drama, as well as other artistic activities, flourished. There were groups in both the Park itself and in Shenley Road Military Camp. I was personally involved in one way or another with productions of Bernard Shaw's 'Candida', J.B.Priestley's 'They Came To A City' and an ambitious presentation of 'Berkeley Square'. I wish I could recall how we managed all the professional costumes for this play, which is set in two time periods, requiring several changes. A close friend, Jeanne Cammaerts, daughter of Emile Cammaerts, was also active in drama events, staged T.S.Elliot's 'Family Reunion'. In addition to productions there was also a lively play-reading group.
