The players, reacting to the kind reception, developed each situation to the full; one was left with an impression of continuous action smoothly dovetailed. No cues were missed, noone "dried up" and lines were, on the whole, very well projected. To pick out a single player, when all worked so well together, is difficult, but the character who will linger longest in this theatregoer's mind will be that acid-drop Miss Skillon, so professionally played by Val Morgan. Her outraged spinster was a full credible vignette of English village life. At curtain-up there was a gasp a spontaneous tribute to the really excellent work of the back-stage boys in designing and building the set. The Town Hall is not the easiest stage to convert to a theatre and the facilities behind are nil, but dressing and make-up were accomplished with success despite the cramped and awkward quarters. Saturday's audience surely provided the best proof that earlier audiences had enjoyed and talked about the show, since that performance was a complete "sell out" despite heavy rain and thunder which co-incided with their arrival. It is the declared intention of the Society to produce three plays a year and we hope that they have been so encouraged by the reception of "See How They Run" to implement their plans.
