The Exmouth Players open the world premiere of R.F. Delderfield’s comedy Once Aboard the Lugger. The playwright Delderfield is interviewed and champions what is known a ‘rep’ or repertory theatre and this piece was written to tour the regions. If plays were shown in the West End or on Broadway the rights would have to be released and small companies could then buy the rights in order to perform the play. The Players started in 1928 and are resident at the Blackmore Theatre.
