Coarse Acting
Writer Michael Green drew upon his experiences as an acting member of the Questors (from 1953) when he wrote his book The Art of Coarse Acting (published 1964) which he dedicated to the Questors.
In 1972, the Questors hosted the World Coarse Acting Championship, and then took The Coarse Acting Show to the 1977 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and The Coarse Acting Show 2 to the 1979 Festival Fringe. The Coarse Acting Show 2 subsequently transferred to the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, where it was visited by HRH The Prince of Wales. In 1984, the Questors presented the Third Great Coarse Acting Show at the Questors Theatre (which was again visited by HRH The Prince of Wales), and in 1988 took Coarse Acting Strikes Back to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
