Reading the excellent notes on an Anne Briggs collection album (Colin Harper, take a bow) just purchased, there is extensive reference made to the travelling show sponsored by the TUC called Centre 42 in the early 60's. Any reminiscences would be appreciated, but immediately the question is: Why was it called Centre 42? Inquiring minds want to know. yours, Peter T. |

From: McGrath of Harlow "...The Association of Cinema and Television Technicians placing a resolution before the 1960 Trades Union Congress calling for an enquiry into the state of the arts. The resolution was number 42 on the agenda. Inspired by this resolution a group of artists with AW at their head formed CENTRE 42." That comes from this site by playwright Arnold Wesker". |
