Old Age: At my age I do what Mark Twain did. I get my daily paper, look at the obituaries page and if I'm not there I carry on as usual. [Patrick Moore, 1923 to 2012, astronomer, quoted in Youth is Wasted on the Young by Stephen Blake and Andrew John, 2003]
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was presented as
four stage shows, all of which included Marvin. The four shows were:
May 1979. The Science Fiction Theatre of Liverpool, ICA theatre,
London. Directed by Ken Campbell.
January 1980. Theatr Clwyd Welsh, UK tour. Adapted and directed
by Jonathan Petherbridge. An image
(0.1 MBytes) is available.
July 1980. The Rainbow Theatre, London. Directed by Ken Campbell.
October 1981. Theatr Clwyd Welsh, UK tour. Directed by Jonathan
Petherbridge.
David Learner played Marvin in the two Theatr Clwyd Welsh productions
and The Rainbow Theatre production. I would love to know who played
Marvin in The Science Fiction Theatre of Liverpool production.
If anyone has other (or better) photos of Marvin in these stage
shows then I would love to add them to this Web page.
