Great Day
(page under construction)
by Lesley StormRushen Amateur Dramatic Society
2nd - 4th December 1953
Rushen Primary School
| Scottish author Lesley Storm first published this play in 1946. Set in the English village of Croxley, Kent, the Women's Institute (a wartime program channeling village products to the troops) is electrified to hear that they'll be visited by Eleanor Roosevelt. As the women struggle to get ready while bursting with the great secret, we glimpse their home lives in subplots, notably the problematic love life of young Miss. Ellis and the travails of her proud but impoverished father. How will their lives change before the Great Day? |
