Read Narrative
'Present and past members of the Crypt Grammar School, Gloucester, gave a concert and entertainment in the Guildhall on Monday evening … In the second part the programme the School Dramatic Society presented “The Showing-Up Blanco Posnet,” by G. Bernard Shaw. Though the Wild West element of the play makes a certain superficial appeal, the psychological issues with their crude emotionalism and still cruder mysticism make considerable demands on the actors, and the admirable nature of the performance from beginning to end reflected the highest credit not only on the actors themselves but also on Messrs. E. C. White and It. W. Crammer, who were responsible for the preparation of the play' (Gloucester Citizen, 22 December 1926).
