Title

South Shields Gilbert and Sullivan Operatic Society [2004:V2]

Description

In April 1948, less than 3 years after the end of the war there had been very little change in lifestyle from that during the war. Although the war was over, there was still clothing and food rationing.

There was no live theatre in South Shields. On the amateur front there was no activity. South Shields Amateur Operatic Society which had been formed during the 1st world war to raise funds for charity had ceased to function on the outbreak of war in 1939.

After the war the Amateurs found it difficult to resume readily with their musicals because the Queens Theatre which had been its regular production venue for many years had been destroyed in the war.
