Stories:
David Pirie: recalls David Austin's  ad lib in Twelvth Night when 'someone or other' had failed to enter the stage for a long time- it was a gem.
" David Austin was playing Toby Belch- he went off to find the missing actors- throwing off the line 'Do continue with your speech and I go find the officers'. "

Jennifer Ward Leyland: played Viola in Twelfth Night
. The Twelfth Night costumes were designed and cut by Hera Cook’s and made by a team of volunteers who sewed the satin tops and trousers that were very restrictive and form fitting for the actors. The costumes were appraised by Bruce Mason, who was reviewing the production at the time, as “après ski wear.” Jennifer’s’ costume was a blue turquoise satin trouser suite.
