Linda has taken part in seven productions, six on tours of the churches, and one in the Wirral Festival of One-act Plays at the Floral Pavilion last year when she performed in One Down Three Across. One of her favourite parts was as Edwina Lovelock in the comedy 'Perfect Partners' where she was the co-owner (along with her drunken husband) of a not too successful dating agency, the main problem being that her own marriage was breaking up, something she did not want her prospective customers to know about. She also very much enjoyed her last play, 'Doggies', where she had to be a puppeteer as well as an actress, playing the part of Thelma (and her dog San-San), the posher half of a double act with Ethel Armitage as Eleanor (and her dog Robbie).

Before joining our little company Linda had trodden the boards with the 745 Women’s Club, which met at the cricket club at the Oval, Wallasey. She said that what she particularly liked about it was the fact that, she didn’t need to learn any lines as the group only performed script-held comedies. Not so since then, however, as many of the parts Linda has played with our theatre group have involved many hours of line learning. Linda has been interested in drama right from her school days and somewhere at home she has a school report which says 'She has taken a pleasing part in form dramatics'. Since then we’ve had the pleasure of seeing Linda perform many pleasing parts. When Bob Clough joined the theatre company as stage manager Linda renewed an old friendship. She had known Bob, a few years before she married, when she was a member of the Wirral Archers, where Bob taught her archery. Linda says he was a dab hand at straightening her arrows.

Apart from her interest in drama, Linda keeps herself busy in a variety of ways. She is a volunteer admin worker with Wallasey C.A.B. for one day a week, and she has also been busy taking a course to teach adult literacy, at the I.B.M.C. in Birkenhead. Linda is a Church Member at Serpentine Road Family Church, and has been involved in several church productions, including playing opposite Barrie in the story of the missionary William Carey, as part of the Baptist Missionary Society’s bicentenary. One of her voluntary tasks for the Church is typing the weekly update of church notices. This ensures that The Out and About Theatre Company always gets a good plug before every performance. In addition, Linda also finds the time to be the secretary of the Free Church Women’s Council.
