Q, Kew Bridge, London

‘The “Q” Theatre was occupied last Saturday afternoon by the members of Miss Beatrice Lewisohn’s Dramatic Society. Among the items of a most successful matinee were a portion of Jerome’s “The Passing of the Third Floor Back”; Galsworthy’s “The First and the Last,” Shaw’s “The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet,” and a sketch by Mabel Constanduros entitled “The Family Group"' (The Era, 23 January 1929). ‘On Saturday, January 19, Miss Beatrice Lewisohn presented an entertainment the items of which provided further proof of the versatility of some members of her company … The last playlet in the rather long programme was George Bernard Shaw’s “The Showing Up of Blanco Posnet.” Tilly Fox was excellent as the woman, as was Ralph Lardon as Blanco Posnet. J. Jesson French was admirable as the Sheriff. Other parts in the long cast were played with vigour and sincerity’ (The Stage, 24 January 1929(. ‘… The presentation of the spectacular scene from Bernard Shaw’s play which deals with the trial in a Wild West town of Blanco Posnet, a horse thief, was a clever piece of work, and greatly impressed the audience' (West London Observer, 26 January 1929).

Performed on 3 February 1930.
