No 12 — January 1979 Edited by Michael Walters

ALBERT HERRING, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Friday 24 Nov. 1978.

My main reason for attending this production was to see Terence Newcombe (formerly Codd, see GG No 10) in the title role and Delith Brook as Cis. It proved to be a brilliant production, and superb performance, about which I had no adverse criticisms (unusual for me) but no doubt if I knew Britten better I would have. Terence proved to be that rara avis, a tenor who can act as convincingly as any straight actor, and gave a completely convincing and moving performance of a loveable character. It was certainly the best thing I have seen the college do. Delith Brook, predictably, was also superb. MICHAEL WALTERS
