“THERE MUST ALWAYS, MY LADY, BE ONE TO COMMAND AND OTHERS TO OBEY” ONCE A MONTH, Lord Loam invites his servants to tea, treats them as equals and shares his dream of a society without class distinctions. His perfect butler, Crichton, has to play along but simply cannot agree. This aristocrat has his theories put to the test when he and his family take a yacht trip and are left shipwrecked on a desert island. Thankfully, Crichton knows what to do, and soon the servant becomes the master. But if they ever return home, who will be in charge? “After celebrated productions of PETER PAN and several lunchtime renditions of his enchanting one-act plays, it is a natural step for us to continue revisiting Mr Barrie with this slyly subversive comic fantasy The Admirable Crichton.”JM This play is recommended for ages 9+. |
