Happy Ever After

Dollar Drama Club's production in May 2019 was an evening of plays, poems and performance on the thorny theme of love and marriage, titled "Happy Ever After?"

It was performed on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th May in the Burnside Hall, Dollar.

The evening included readings and two one-act plays:

The Bachelor's Soliloquy

Written by Anonymous, after William Shakespeare
Read by Matthew Pease

The Turn Of The Shrew

Written by William Shakespeare
Read by Jane McGill

The Twelve Pound Look

Written by J. M. Barrie
Directed by Linda Rice

On the eve of his knighthood, Harry Sims is full of the great things he considers he has achieved. A typist has been hired to answer the messages of congratulation. She turns out to be his former wife, Kate, who was so oppressed by his hardness and petty mindedness that she secretly learned to type and left him as soon as she had earned twelve pounds, the price of a typewriter. She is quite contented with her lot, and her fearlessness and humour contrast strongly with the cowed and joyless expression of the second Lady Sims.
