Oral Histories
The Museum of Richmond and The Orange Tree Theatre are very grateful to the following persons for their participation in our oral history project. Their fascinating contributions helped inform the content of this exhibition, and selected quotes are included throughout.
The below extracts from the interview recordings have also been made available in the exhibition (December 2021 - August 2022) and can be accessed in full on request to the Museum. Two of the interviews are in written form.
