Pat and Denzil Pugh's son Marcus sent the following memory to Keith Railton who has included it here: “My father played Sky Masterson in Guys & Dolls and I have a feeling you played Nathan Detroit. But it wasn’t just family members who played a part at the Criterion. Household objects did too. I often went along to Dad’s rehearsals. I recall one night a ring box was needed for the moment you proposed to Adelaide. “I have a ring box” I enthusiastically chirped up from the back of the rehearsal. “A ring box?” you said disbelievingly from the stage, perhaps wondering what an eleven year-old boy was doing with a ring box. “Yes, a ring box. It’s an old-fashioned one with a catch and everything.” So you kindly gave my ring box a central part in the proposal scene – although I recall that on the night I saw the show you had trouble opening the catch. It was very good of you. Ring boxes, I am sure, were not in short supply in Coventry.”
