"The Reluctant Debutante"

By William Douglas Home, author of such classics as "Chiltern Hundreds", "The Reluctant Debutante" opens its three night season on Saturday next.

Reminiscent of Oscar Wilde, the play revolves around modern English society, in London for the "match-making" season.

Mabel Crosswaite (Pat McMillan) joins in to find a match for her dear Clarissa (Rae Hardman).

Meanwhile Jimmy Broadbent (Trevor Nalder - below) patiently - foots the bills.

Undoubted star of the play is Sheila Broadbent, played by Edna Heighway (left), doing her utmost to find a worthy match for her horse-loving beautiful daughter, Jane (Annette Hill).
