Southampton Evening Echo 26th November 1968:
The Maskers, the new amateur dramatic company with great plans for drama in Southampton, made their public debut last night by staging Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" at the Skyway Hotel for one night only.............The whole production was sound without being outstanding, but I think we will be hearing a good deal more from the Maskers.
