When Roger Morton was directing EAST by Steven Berkoff, the Ocean Productions company was invited to the Zurich International Theatre Festival. (Zürcher Theater Spektakel) in 1974. The season was sold out. We then went to Lucerne for another season. Raising money for the trip was difficult hence you see Roger appearing in the motoring page of the Auckland Star newspaper with his 1948 Ford V8 Deluxe Sedan for publicity. In the end we self-financed the trip which was repaid by the generous fees paid by the Festival. We were helped enormously by our patron Genevieve Becroft from Takapuna who guaranteed a bank loan to pay part of the travel expenses. The trip was a resounding success, no thanks to any of the New Zealand Arts Funding bodies, especially “Creative New Zealand” even though we were the only New Zealand company to be ever invited to this festival.
