Dollar Drama Club
The Old Lady Shows Her Medals
"The Old Lady Shows Her Medals", by J. M. Barrie, was performed in November 2014 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War. There were three performances: one with pupils from Strathdevon Primary School, and two with pupils from Dollar Academy, who performed poetry and readings about WWI. Dollar Drama were also joined by Hillfoots Harmony who performed topical songs each night.
The play is set in 1916 in Mrs Dowey's basement flat in London.
