Random Doctor Who Picture: Sylvester McCoy as the Pied Piper


Black and White Photo. Sylvester McCoy is wearing an outrageous outfit, with patterned trousers and braces, and what looks to be a multi-coloured long coat with wide lapels. Extravagant lace is visible at the cuffs. His haired is spiked up and he has a small star above one eyebrow - the effect is slightly New Romantic
The credit on the back reads Sylvester McCoy in The Pied Piper by Adrian Mitchell from the poem by Robert Browning (Olivier Theatre, 1987). Photograph by Nobby Clark.


On the back of this postcard, I've written "Theatre Trip to `Anthony and Cleopatra' 6/2/88". So I must have picked this up while in the National Theatre shop. I certainly never saw the production.

That seems an interesting choice for a school trip. My school tended to focus on O' and A' level set texts and Shakespeare.

This was when I was at primary school - it was to introduce us to theatre.
