R. C. Sherriff : Badger’s Green

'Meeting held at 22, Cintra Avenue: 14.5.35
    Francis E. Pollard in the Chair
1. Minutes of last read + approved.

[...]

4. We then read Badger’s Green. Mrs. Goadby and Reginald Robson had allotted the parts as follows:—
Doctor Wetherby    F. E. Pollard
Major Forrester    R. H. Robson
Mr. Twigg    V. W. Alexander
Mr. Butler    E. B. Castle
Mr. Rogers    H. R. Smith
Dickie [Wetherby]    E. Mary Reynolds
Mrs. Wetherby    Elisabeth Alexander
Major Forrester    Mary Pollard
Mr. Butler’s Secretary    Dorothy K. Goadby
Mary    Mary Robson

The reading was very good fun. The well meaning self importance of Dr. Wetherby & Major Forrester, & the much doubted organizing ability of their respective wives provided the setting of local jealousy + futility in which the skill and tact of Mr. Butler + his Secretary showed up well. The secret passion of Mr. Twigg for entomology + fretwork and the breezy heartiness of Dickie provided some comic moments, while the thick pated, bucolic characters — Mr. Rogers + Mary — grounded the play firmly in its village simplicity.'
