?, Braithwaite

The performance date shown is conjectural. ‘The British Drama League’s two weeks’ holiday drama school at Braithwaite, near Keswick, the first important school of its kind to be held in North-West England, which concluded yesterday, proved an encouraging success, despite the comparatively small number of students attending. There were students present from Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Durham, as well as from all parts of Cumberland and Westmorland. The students, after only ten short rehearsals, presented “Elizabeth Refuses,” an adaptation from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” by Miss Margaret Macnamara, schools organiser to the British Drama League, and Shaw’s “The Showing Up Blanco Posnet,” under the direction of Mr. Rupert Harvey, assisted by Miss Audrey Frere, niece of the Bishop of Truro’.
