Drama

Intense drama was keynote of "The Late Edwina Black," a period mystery play presented recently in the Opera House by the Gisborne Repertory Society. Players (above, from left) were: John Miller (The husband), Myra Muis (the housekeeper), Jim Stewart (the detective), and Mary Hunt (the late Edwina's companion help). The play was produced by Selwyn Wood, and the view from the auditorium (below) shows the care taken to reproduce the period setting. Play put heavy load on leading players to maintain suspense leading up to surprise climax. Most effective role was that of the housekeeper.
