Worthing School of Dramatic Art

Worthing Herald, 6th November 1937

This newspaper clipping is very unusual in that it is a photograph, and it shows a scene from one of Irene Mawer’s mime plays – but she is not in it.  The play was put on by the Worthing School of Dramatic Art, who presumably bought the rights to perform the play for their amateur drama club.

The Marriage of Columbine was included in Mawer’s book Twelve Mime Plays and was considered to be the best of all the twelve.

Huge thanks to all of my supporters who have contacted me to let me know that they will be joining in with my Kickstarter book-launch project.  I am excited to tell you that the physical copies of the biography will be printed at Bookvault, which is in Peterborough, England.  Here is the link to Bookvault, if you would like to have a general look around their website: https://bookvault.app/about-us/
