LEWIS CASSON
George Bernard Shaw’s new play, ‘ On the Rocks,’ is as satirical as most of his works. It is set in No. 10 Downing street, where the members of the Government and the heads of the Army, Navy, and Police Force have met to receive a deputation from the Isle of Cats. Mr Lewis Casson, who was in New Zealand last year with his wife, Dame Sybil Thorndike, is producer of the play, and also plays the part of a Hindu member of the Government. The cast to interpret the amusing play is a distinguished one, including Nicholas Hannon, who was in Australia last year with his wife, Athene Sevier, but did not come to New Zealand, Lawrence Hanray, Charles Carson, Walter Hudd, and Ellen Pollock.
