Street theatre came to Leamington in the shape of 10 amateur actors from Oxfam. The players are members of the Young Oxfam Round Britain Street Theatre who are spending their summer vacation touring a dozen towns and cities. They present two plays to show Oxfam's role in the Third World, the first depicts the results of drought and the second the effect of international trade on under-developed countries. The travelling group are accommodated at church halls while on tour and Leamington was about the half-way point of their tour. Their leader, John Fewtrell, said the group were set up to entertain and inform but had raised enough through contributions to cover their costs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amateur actors from Oxfam bring the power of street theatre to Leamington. These ten talented individuals, part of the Young Oxfam Round Britain Street Theatre group, are spending their summer vacation touring various towns and cities across the country. Their mission? To entertain and inform audiences about Oxfam's crucial role in the Third World. In this photo print, we see these dedicated performers showcasing two thought-provoking plays. The first play vividly depicts the devastating consequences of drought, while the second highlights how international trade impacts under-developed countries. Through their compelling performances, they aim to raise awareness and inspire action. During their tour, these passionate actors find accommodation at church halls along their journey. Leamington serves as a significant milestone on their route - marking its halfway point. Led by John Fewtrell, this remarkable group has not only succeeded in entertaining but also managed to cover all costs through generous contributions. Capturing a moment frozen in time on August 22nd, 1977, this image is a testament to youthful dedication and compassion for those less fortunate. With bicycles parked nearby and wearing distinctive Oxfam tee shirts proudly displaying 'Street Campaign 77, ' these young activists exude energy and determination. This extraordinary photograph from Memory Lane Prints reminds us that even small acts can make a big difference when driven by passion and purpose.
