Sent in by Brian Isaacs. His words: “Just found this in the attic! Photo of Fosters School presentation of Julius Caesar in 1957. I played a rather fetching “Calpurnia” (front row far right). Remember I would have preferred to be cast as third Roman soldier as they had great uniforms and real swords! Great sword fights in the gym every night!”

I think my dad made a lot of the scenery for the plays which was then painted by the art department. Geoff Congrave is still in Sherborne and I’m heading back in October 2016 after a 36 year absence 🙂
