Corinth House by Pamela Hansford Johnson
Corinth House ran for two performances in 1960, Monday 7 November and Wednesday 9 November. It was produced by Elsie Brown (who was, incidentally, the second person to ever appear on a WDG programme) Miss Malleson, a retired school mistress, is visited at Corinth House by Moira Heysham, an ex-pupil. Moira desires a character reference from Miss Malleson for another ex-pupil, Madge Donnythorpe, whom she wishes to engage as governess to her children while staying in India. When Miss Malleson, however, meets Madge Donnythorpe she recognises the girl she expelled 16 years before. Miss Malleson declines to give the reference, thus ruining Madge's chance of starting a new life. Madge is so incensed she becomes a guest at Corinth House and sets about taking her revenge. It is easy for Madge to turn the whole of Corinth House against Miss Malleson and to ingratiate herself into everybody's favour at the expense of her old enemy. It is left to the play itself to show the ebb and flow of this struggle of wills until the discovery of Madge's deceit by residents of Corinth House and Miss Malleson's final victory.
