Southsea Shakespeare Actors
Theaters & Cinemas in Portsmouth, Hampshire
By the mid-1950's the Southsea Shakespeare Actors had moved into the opulent South Parade Pier Theatre. In this venue the SSA completed the Canon in the 1960s, becoming the 1st non-professional firm in the world to have performed all of Shakespeare's plays - a fact recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. After the demise of the South Parade Pier the firm removed to the King's Theatre where they performed throughout the 1970s & early 1980s.
