Diana of Dobson's - Posted By 4action (4action) on 5th Jan 09 at 2:23am
CULTURAL EVENT IN CATERHAM (APRIL)
The Miller Centre Theatre.
Very successful when first performed in London in 1908, this sprightly play introduces us to the overworked and underpaid female assistants at Dobson's Drapery Emporium, whose only alternative to their dead-end jobs is the unlikely prospect of marriage. However, one of the females is a feisty young woman, Diana, who, due to her changing circumstances - she inherits a few hundred pounds - has no intention of accepting the status quo. This delightful Edwardian vignette is both romantic comedy and social criticism. It will delight audiences. After all, there are times when we'd all like to cock a snook at authority - and Diana does just that.
