Her Company took it overseas to France Belgium and finally France following the British Liberation Army. She wrote a book about her experiences and it was never published. I am trying to arrange an evening with my Am Dram group and want to perform a scene from it. Can anyone help with the script?

I'm finding it fascinating, there's so many interesting side roads to investigate. And that most books that mention mannequins tend to talk about clothes too - always a pleasurable distraction! <br /><br />Thanks again, FrancesLast-Year Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339517973272134452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-24699269706215695352014-04-09T20:34:37.619+01:002014-04-09T20:34:37.619+01:00You mean real people, not dummies presumably? ;) ...You mean real people, not dummies presumably? ;) There's a lovely guest-post on an early shop model in Nicholas Nickleby http://clothesinbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/guest-blogger-veronica-horwell-catwalk.html<br />And another entry on this play: <br />http://clothesinbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/nine-till-six-by-aimee-and-philip-stuart.html<br />and there's Angela Thirkell's High Rising, where someone writes about the dramas in a fashion salon http://clothesinbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/high-rising-by-angela-thirkell.html<br /><br />& in Margery Allingham's The Fashion in Shrouds the models are generally untrustworthy, open to bribery, stealing designs etc http://clothesinbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-fashion-in-shrouds-by-margery.html<br />Your research sounds fascinating!Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-17551878699309779732014-04-09T19:25:29.019+01:002014-04-09T19:25:29.019+01:00I've only just discovered this post (through t...I've only just discovered this post (through the link on the Brand post): completely fascinating. I've been doing some attitudes to shop mannequins in this period - they pop up, in various states of undress, really frequently! <br /><br />I'd love it if you could direct me towards any more mannequins you've covered in the past on this blog and I'll continue eagerly exploring your archives.

I remember this play, because I was in an amateur (very amateur) drama group in London in the early 1940s and this is a play we did (did to death, in all likelihood, although from reading the excerpts it doesn't look as though it needed that much of a push). Ideal for wartime, of course, given the shortage of men. Can't remember which part I played, and the only character I can remember is Bridgit Penarth. If the audience got any pleasure from our 'performances', it can only have been incidental or the kind of pleasure you get from watching clunky amateurs trying to give it their small all.
