by Arthur W Pinero<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was performed in Morganstown Village
\nHall from Thursday to Saturday November 20th to 22nd 2014<\/p>\n

The play is set in a finishing school in one of London’s grander squares. Why is the head mistress leaving her school where some of the girls will be resident over Christmas and her good for nothing husband of a few weeks, to spend time with a friend in Hereford? What will happen to Dinah, who has married against her parents wishes and has been incarcerated in the school to keep her away from her husband.<\/p>\n

Miss Dyott’s new husband invites his friends around for a party pretending that the school is his fashionable lodgings. Add a bumbling Admiral, his hen pecked wife, a popular composer, a couple of comic servants, one of whom loves playing with fireworks, and the arrival of the local fire brigade to have all the complications required of a classical farce.<\/p>\n
