Read Narrative
‘Members of the Walsall Co-operative Drama Class gave three one-act plays at Bridge Street, on Wednesday night, which represented a phrase of the Education Department’s activities unknown to many Walsall people, even though this was the second public performance, and the Large Hall was well filled. Those (and there are some) who despair of amateur dramatics in Walsall should have been present; they might have modified their views … The three plays chosen for presentation were suitable and deservedly appreciated … The second was “The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet,” in which Mr. George Bernard Shaw revels in some vigorous and quite typical horseplay. The caste ... gave the impression of enjoying the performance of the play as much as Mr. Shaw must have enjoyed writing it’. Rugeley Rimes, Saturday 26 November 1932.
