Yes! My Darling Daughter by Mark Reed
The play was produced on Monday 1 August and Tuesday 2 August 1960, and was the group's 1960 entry into the NSW Arts Council's Country Play Competition. It was produced by Aubrey Brown. The adjudicator was Bonnie Walker, who saw the second night's production on 2 August. This is a 1937 comedy by Mark Reed. When young Ellen Murray decides to spend a weekend with her handsome fiancé, Douglas Hall, her mother is outraged. This comes as a shock to Ellen since her mother was once one of Greenwich Village's most notorious bohemians, an advocate of free thinking and free love. Ellen spends the weekend with Doug, but she also agrees to marry him, thereby satisfying everyone. This light, amusing comedy, was what the theatre called a "sleeper" (i.e. a play that does not do well initially, but in time provides solid box-office returns).
