The Collection

City Hall played host to regular plays, operas and musicals produced by Truro Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society. This 1962 play was produced by John Knight with musical arrangement by Samuel French Ltd. Carrington V.C was written by playwrights Campbell and Dorothy Christie and premiered in the West End in 1953, with the subsequent film adaptation produced in 1954. The poster was printed at Solomon & Metz printers in Truro, who were regularly employed to print posters and handbills for productions at City Hall. More elaborate posters for productions with bigger budgets tended to use printers in Plymouth and Bristol efficient in printing colour imagery on larger presses.
