'All Change' Act 1 Scene 14 - The Wolverton Refreshment Room.
Scene 14 : The Wolverton Refreshment Room.
The group felt that this was one of the most successful scenes. They used a vivid contemporary account of the refreshment room in ‘Stokers and Pokers’ by Sir Francis Bond Head that provided ample material for the scene’s title song.
The discovery of the 1845 Punch with its description of Punch’s attempt to drink hot soup before his train departed, decided the action, and from then on the choreography and comic invention fell into place as though the scene had always existed.
