"In 1987 Councillor Fred Parrott promised to do his utmost to enable the Theatre Company of Diever to perform in Stratford. This became a reality in 1988," says Councillor Stuart Beese, Chairman of Stratford-on-Avon District Council.  

"And 20 years on it has become a reality again, Councillor Mike Brain last year's Chairman of the Council and I were so impressed by the dedication to Shakespeare in Diever when we visited last year to celebrate 60 years of Shakespeare in Diever, that we wanted this to be a year to remember for the group from Diever."
