THE ARGOSY PLAYERS - LIVERPOOL

 

The Argosy players are so named after the Telegraphic Address of Head Office – “ARGOSY LIVERPOOL”. The meaning of the word Argosy is a large trading ship or fleet of ships, and this nautical theme is most appropriate given the location of Head Office in the port of Liverpool, the logo of the Bank of Liverpool (shown here above), and of course the many nautical decorations displayed within the fabric of 4 Water Street itself. 

The telegraphic address of Liverpool Overseas branch is “ARGOFOR LIVERPOOL” and the staff of this department contribute to the activities of Martins Bank’s society of the Arts, usually with music and comedy, but now and then they try to emulate their colleagues in the Argosy Players by putting on the occasional drama.

WHY NOT ALSO VISIT THESE PAGES

We have now added details of the twenty-two drama performances staged by the Argosy Players, who for an amateur group are extremely accomplished and very well polished. Many of these productions were staged at Liverpool’s Crane Theatre, and some were put on in the Basement Theatre at Martins Bank’s Head Office, as short entertainments to staff attending the annual general meetings of the Society of the Arts. The two productions credited to the Manchester Players are included below, as they were staged for the benefit of the Argosy players in the Basement Theatre at Liverpool Head Office.  Don’t forget that you can read about the other Martins Bank amateur operatic and dramatic societies in our Song and Dance feature. You can also read about the extraordinary talents and the career of one of Martins Bank’s most loyal Operatic Society performers Beryl Evans by clicking on the link above.
