A brief history of Worcester's Swan Theatre, from its inception in the mid 1960s to 2005; from the tireless campaigners who raised the funds to build it, to its wide community of users, both amateur and professional. At just 353 seats, this small theatre has always been a vital part of the city's arts scene, being a centre for drama, dance, music and visual arts.
For most if the time covered in this book the Swan had both a professional repertory company and an amateur company in residence, and the synergy between the two made this a unique and vibrant venue, playing host to a number of the major stars of their day, as well as staging premieres of new works.
