Sheffield Playgoers' Society

Any memories of the Sheffield Playgoers' Society which used to present plays in the Central Library Theatre in the 1940s?

Val were you a member ? My father was involved very heavily from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Hi. No, not a member at all. I'm doing some research about libraries in Sheffield and so am interested in the little theatre under the Central Library, through which the library service used to promote literature with talks, films and of course plays. This included the Sheffield Playgoers. I have a playbill from February 1947, announcing the (presumably post-war) re-opening of the theatre with a play called This is my Life, by R F Delderfield and Basil Thomas.
