Victoria Theatre

I have just heard of the death of Peter Cheeseman the founding Director of the Victoria Theatre following a long fight against Parkinsons Disease. He was 78. Even from the distance of nearly half a century the importance of Cheeseman's pioneer work in community theatre and theatre in the round cannot be understated. There was a time in the 1960s when some of the work being produced at the Old Vic from its Hartshill site was of world renown.
