Laburnum Grove by J B Priestly

We don't appear to have a full programme for this show, however two fragments of the same have been located and are online.  Click Here for Programme Fragment (pdf file, 83,434 bytes).   Copious notes were, however, contained in the files and they are reproduced on this page.

The play was produced on November 28 and 29, 1955 by W W Mackie.  It was directed by Rene Levenspiel.

"An ordinary, even humdrum, suburban family discovers that life is far from dull, when the head of the household reveals that he is not the honest businessman he appears to be.  J B Priestly's light-hearted story of the man who unofficially assisted the work of the Royal Mint has entertained in many countries".
