Scope and content
In the spring of 2011 Nik Stanbridge put on an exhibition for the Bampton Community Archive of Pill Boxes in this area during WWII. Simon Rae wrote a play about life revolving around one pill box and it was given its first airing in the Village Hall to coincide with the exhibition. It was a delightful play and the scenery was excellent.
The play called The Pill Box got its first showing in Bampton Village Hall on Wednesday May 25th 2011 and it coincided with an Exhibition put on by Mark MacArthur-Christie on pillboxes in Oxfordshire. It was an excellent play with wonderful staging produced by Mike Wareham. The picture is of an admission ticket for the play and the program.
