Queen's University, Belfast

‘The Queen’s University Dramatic Society, adventurous enough to gratify Toc H, are running a little season of no fewer than five plays, of which last night’s share was Gordon Bottomley’s “King Lear’s Wife,” Shaw’s “The Showing Up of Blanco Posnet,” and “Local News,” by Mr. R. C. Calvert … Curiously, it never struck us before that the “Showing Up of Blanco Posnet” is another version of the “Hound of Heaven,” and that, here anyhow, Shaw and Francis Thompson are akin. It, too, was exceedingly well played, and how pleasant it was, after the first few words had proved these people were to speak out, to sink back in the chair, able to absorb its humours, its irony, and its teachings' (Northern Whig, 10 December 1926).
