Vintage 1974 Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds Stage Presentation Of The Fabulous Puppet TV Series At The Pier Theatre In Bournemouth Advertising Flyer - Mint Condition Ex Shop Stock. This wonderful promotional flyer is an original unused flyer from 1974 which was never used due to the early cancellation of the stage show. The show was presented by "Stage Three" - Christine Glanville, Rowena White and David Ross. The puppets (rod puppet versions of the original TV series marionettes) were made by Christine Glanville and costumed by Rowena White, who also wrote the script.  David Ross supervised the design and construction of the show's 16 stage sets and recorded the soundtrack. The show followed the successful format of Stage Three's Rupert Bear Show, in that the hour-long script was split into 4 separate scenes with a Comedy Magician providing some magical interludes between scenes and in this instance it was childrens entertainer Mervyn Cole. The voice of Lady Penelope was recorded for the Stage Show by Sylvia Anderson's daughter, Dee Anderson.  Parker and Brains were voiced by Jimmy Jewel's son, Kerry Jewel and the other voices were recorded by Malcolm Storry and David Schofield. After its opening in Chelmsford, the show moved to the Woodville Halls in Gravesend, to great success and then to the Pier Theatre, Bournemouth for the main Summer Season, opening on 17th June 1974. Rather surprisingly, given the enormous popularity of the TV series, combined with the high quality and excellent reputation of Stage Three's productions, audience numbers for the Summer Season were very disappointing.  Sadly, the Bournemouth season was curtailed after only completing the first month.
