CANTERBURY THEATRE COMPANY YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL THEATRE ANNOUNCES Contemporary Theatre Season COMMENCING SATURDAY, Aug. 16th One Week Only KATHLEEN DILDITCH, BARBARA LATHAM, JACQUE THOSAS and Christchurch's DOREEN CORRICK IN By Frank Marcus, Directed by JOHN KIM. First opened in London in 1965 now playing to extensive public and critical acclaim on Broadway. The Critics said: “A funnier comedy was never written by Noel Coward.” “Sunday Telegraph." ‘This is the funniest new writing in the West End.” "Observer." “The best comedy to appear in the West End for a long time." ‘Times” “Wildly funny.” “The Sun” “A gem of a play." "The People.” "Sister George" is in fact the district nurse heroine of one of those deathless, daily radio serials. Though the programme may be immortal, the character is not and with the decline of her popularity ratings she faces contrived extinction. A deadly portrayal is offered in the 8.8. C. lady who takes tea, dispenses sympathy and effects the "killing." The farce and tragedy alternate in the home life of the actress herself, a tweedy cigar smoking Lesbian. Concurrent with the death of Sister George runs the breakup of her "marriage” to a child-like, apparently vulnerable flatmate. The most daring comedy of our time. BOX PLANS OPEN AT HAY’S MONDAY NEXT.
