As the building was not yet licensed for public performances, the audience was restricted to the Theatre Group members only. [2] Their first production, The Happiest Days of Your Life , by John Dighton, directed by Dick Moss, was performed on 22 March 1958. [4] The group performed thirteen plays over the four-year period with their last production being Rhinoceros , by Eugène Ionesco, directed by Pam Comey and John Scott. [5]
