Part description

Richard's torch was a small, black Maglite, a novel item at the time as the brand was largely unknown in the UK. It was used in several performances as an 'antidote' to theatrical lighting. Richard still has it and describes it as focusable and quite powerful. It is hidden in Richard's inside pocket for much of the performance.

Provenance
