Marjorie Sigley was born onDecember 1928, known to everyone as Sigi, she took passionate pleasure in the arts and would travel huge, impractical distances to see a play, a ballet or an opera. But she also believed in art as an educational force, and her greatest achievement lay in pioneering many of the attitudes towards childrens drama that we now take for granted. Sigley not only introduced thousands of children to what she called the wonder of theatre, she also involved them directly in the making of it.
