Popping up on eBay, the programme for the Arthur Berry play Dr. Fergo’s Last Passion (aka Doctor Fergo’s Last Passion) from 1979, later followed by Dr. Fergo Rides Again in 1982. New to me. Described as “a rude ballad opera” with comedic songs, by a snippet from one old paywalled newspaper review. It has a local Potteries setting.
Regrettably there never seems to have been a recording or a radio version. Presumably the scripts and staging directions are still available. Might it then be revived? Possibly it would be too bawdy and ‘incorrect’ for our censorious times, but perhaps it could be done as a full-cast audio-only recording?
