The Infirmary Dramatic, Operatic & Literary Society was formed in 1955, mainly by the efforts of Mr. D. G. Cracknell, a consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Leicester Royal Infirmary who considered that a dramatic or operatic group would help to bring the various differing types of hospital departments, such as medical, nursing, works, administration, etc., together in an informal way, provide an interesting social activity for some of the younger nurses who were in those days confined to the Nurses' Home after 9.30 p.m., and also (hopefully) give a tangible result at the end.
