Mrs Margaret Marshall

Yorkshire Evening Press, 2 February 1939

The British Drama League organised a preliminary round of the North Riding Drama Festival, in Yorkshire. There were many entries, including from the local Women’s Institutes. East and West Ayton chose to perform The Flood. I wonder if this was Irene Mawer’s version, after all, the WI had had a very strong input from Miss Mawer’s series of day-school a few years earlier.

The adjudicator on the day was to be Mrs Margaret Marshall, founder and producer of Durham Dramatic Society. She was also a licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music. The connection with Irene Mawer comes in the final sentence – she held a teacher’s diploma of the Institute of Mime.

This is the way that I will be launching my Irene Mawer biography early in 2025.
