The Forum Theatre, Billingham presented Somerset Maugham’s The Circle from 27 March – 8 April 1978. You may be surprised at the quality of the casts and I have included some of the star names from each show:

The Circle starred Googie Withers and her husband John McCullum. Ms Withers died in 2011 at the age of 94. Their daughter Joanna McCullum also starred alongside Bill Fraser still remembered for the TV programmes The Army Game and Bootsie and Snudge.
