Consistently Brilliant on a Breezy Hilltop. A History of The Cotswold Players: The First 100 Years
bookPatrick Howell spent three and a half years researching the Players’ extensive archives, including play lists, programmes, posters and photographs and conducted many interviews with past and present members. The book is full of intrigue, on and off-stage drama, humour, sadness, considerable frustration and much more. It contains over 300 pages and 74 photographs spanning nearly 100 years.
