Archives - The Admirable Crichton

by J M Barrie

Directed by Beth Maxwell

Saturday 3rd – Saturday 10th November 1984 in the Auditorium

This Barrie classic, first performed in 1902, introduces us to an almost normal aristocratic English household. The archetypal “Upstairs Downstairs” situation is examined with sparkling comedy and penetrating irony, as the social structure cracks under the strain of shipwreck and isolation on a desert island.
