Author’s Note
Roy Nevitt describes how the challenges of the development of the new city of Milton Keynes inspired an interest in the stories behind the earlier development of New Bradwell and Wolverton. This interest led to the collection of primary source material from local historians and residents covering the first 30 years of Wolverton and New Bradwell and how this material was used to create ‘All Change’. He also highlights the need for a theatre in Milton Keynes and refers to Stantonbury Campus Theatre’s role as the focus of community arts over the past twenty five years, and looks to the future.
Director’s Note
Rosemary Hill describes how her background and interest in documentary and community theatre led to her agreeing to direct this performance of ‘All Change’. She also describes the challenges of working on the production and pays tribute to the cast and production team, and the new Milton Keynes community as a whole.
