Along with the comic simplicity of the story, much of the audiences' enjoyment of the play comes through the capturing of the style of the period; they can laugh at the ridiculous preoccupation with being genteel, the highly affected manners of speech and movement, and the flambouyant costumes. Throughout rehearsals the cast had great fun in trying to capture these details, as well as enjoying the chance to ham it up in some of the more absurd scenes. The wearing of the most impractical costumes was an amusing problem, especially to those of us with false stomachs, noses and bald patches but all added to the gaiety of the affair

Much hard work (not made easier by the commuting from School to School necessary) was put into the production, both during the lunch hour and after school, by the cast, stage-crew (particularly in the construction of an elegant and impressive set) and the directors, particularly in working out the details of timing, so essential for comedy playing (whole lunch hours were spent perfecting such slap-stick actions as people-tripping over each other) The enthusiasm and cooperation of everyone involved helped to bring about an extremely polished, stylish and entertaining production. The audiences enjoyed it, and, most importantly, so did we.
