SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 10.

"Laburnum Grove."

"Laburnum Grove."

Once again the Dramatic Club has chosen a play which has proved very popular with London audiences. J. B. Priestley's play, "Laburnum Grove," well merits the success it obtained in England, and, judging from the rehearsals "Smad" has seen, we feel confident that the 'Varsity producer, Miss D. Tossman, and her cast will do full justice to the play.

"Laburnum Grove" is a happy comedy wholly devoid of the usual problems of the eternal triangle which provides a plot for so many plays. It abounds in bright lines and amusing situations, while in parts it has the touch of a thriller. This play introduces an entirely new cast to the 'Varsity stage, but the majority of its members have gained experience elsewhere.

We recommend this production to our readers, and trust that the ill-mannered hooliganism of a small body of irresponsibles will not be allowed to make the cast's work more difficult and to mar the enjoyment of the audience, as was the case on the students' night of "Chinese White."

The Dramatic Club's policy is to pay all profits from its productions into the Building Fund, which will benefit by several pounds if this production is supported.
