Quince Players

The Quince Players were established on June nineteenth 1945 by Beryl Barber ALAM, Ken Higginson BSc and Michael Westmacote AMIGE. After a debate about naming the new society, Mr Higginson reminded the meeting of Shakespeare's A midsummer night's dream in which a group or ordinary men put on a little sketch, the prologue being spoken by Quince the Carpenter. He suggested that the words of Quince, our true intent is all for your delight would form a perfect motto for the society and that the name should be The Quince Players.
