The Happiest Days of Your Life

A successful casting means that we're all systems go for November performances of The Happiest Days of Your Life by John Dighton. The story is set at the end of WWII and the pupils and teachers of a South Coast girls' school (St Swithin's) are relocated to alternative accommodation as their own school has been a casualty of wartime bombing. Thanks to a bureaucratic mix-up, they wind up sharing the quarters of a boy's school (Hilary Hall) in Hampshire. The harried head teachers, together with the staff of both schools, try to keep visiting parents from discovering the dilemma, with hilarious results. The full cast is:
