I Remember Mama by John van Druten
This was the entry for the 1969 NSW Arts Council's Drama Festival and opened in August 1969. The producer was Rene Levenspiel. (The adjudicator for 1969 was Robert Levis). This is a play in two acts based on the novel by Katherine Forbes Mama's Bank Account. It had 22 roles, and only one of these was doubled, so with 21 actors on stage it attracted new people to Wyong Drama Group as well as the usual stalwarts. The play opens with Katrin Hanson, a young Norwegian girl living in San Francisco, reading from the manuscript of her autobiography. Then follow scenes from an important period of her life giving us glimpses of the career of this delightful, affectionate, impecunious family of Hansons. Mama, the real heroine, is responsible ultimately for Katrin's literary career, in which I Remember Mama is her first success. Period 1910. The play was quite successful, and was awarded "Best Play" in the Arts Council Festival for 1969. I Remember Mama Programme (pdf file, 261,405 bytes)
