N.Z. Play Was Well Received
On Monday a New Zealandproduced play, “Flowers and Coffins,” was screened from WNTV3 and was very well reviewed; it will be screened from CHTV3 on September 14.
The play is by Alexander Guyan, who also wrote “The Joker in The Pack,” an earlier N.Z.B.C. presentation. The producer is Douglas Drury. “Flowers and Coffins” concerns Sam Hackett, a book-lover who falls in love with Jo, a young librarian. B(it he had not counted on the interference of the senior librarian, Miss James, and that is where the drama began. All the actors are from Auckland except Jeannette Lewis, of Wellington, who plays the part of Miss James. Stephen O’Rourke, an actor at the Mercury Theatre, Auckland, plays Sam Hackett, Elizabeth Pritchard is Jo, Alan Carlisle is Charles Roberts, Pamela Merwood
plays Grace Roberts, Yvonne Cawley is Mrs James and Ernest Stanley is Mr Cutter.
