Thread Name: Nadia Cattouse - whatever happened to?
Subject: RE: NADIA CATTOUSE - whatever happened to?
I met Nadia at the Theatre in the Round in Stoke on Trent in 1966. The local Anti Apartheid Movement put on a show commemorating the anniversary of the Sharpeville massacre with a script my wife and I wrote. It was read by actors from the theatre; Nadia and a Keele student (Jeff Parton?) sang protest songs - I remember Crow on the Cradle. I think Ben Kingsley and Robert Powell were among the readers. Nelson Mandela's speech "Why I am prepared to die" closed the programme.The show was a sellout (in aid of AAM) and Nadia was moving beyond belief
