Amersham ---- News, Views & Information |
Amersham is by no means unique in having actors associated with it, but perhaps it is surprising just who does have a connection with Amersham. Below is a list of actors with a connection to Amersham. We know the list is not definitive, if anyone has any further details. please email the web master.
Dirk Bogarde - 1921 to 1999 - one of
his earliest associations was an actor with the Amersham Repertory Company. The
old Amersham theatre on Station Road (now the auction rooms) was where the
Company put on performances. The building was originally the Bijou Hall, then
the Playbox cinema. It was then converted to the Play House Theatre and opened
in 1936, with seats for 240. The repertory company had moved from Chesham Bois
(where they had used a barn on what is now the Beacon school site) and proved
quite popular for a few years, but after the war it could not compete with the
changing tastes of the time (television?) and by 1956 the local estate agents
had purchased the building.

programmes making his debut on 1924
