Material relating to Stephanie Cole's involvement in the touring production of the theatrical adaptation of Rosamund Pilcher's novel The Shell Seekers. Initially the production seems to have been intended to include Stephanie Cole as well as her former Tenko co-star Louise Jameson (SC/6) and Stephanie Cole's husband Peter Birrel. However, Peter Birrel had to withdraw from the production due to illness and Louise Jameson also withdrew from the production. Ultimately however, the Shell Seekers' cast did include Veronica Roberts, who had also been involved in Tenko, where she formed a close and long-lasting friendship with Stephanie Cole. Paul Chapman, another member of The Shell Seekers' cast also joined Stephanie Cole and Veronica Roberts in some of their charitable or gala performances of What Your Mother Never Told You (SC/25).
The series includes scripts, publicity material, first night and congratulations cards for the production and a copy of the novel The Shell Seekers annotated with notes on the character of Penelope Keeling (Stephanie Cole's role in the production).
