Synospis

This comedy engagingly captures the uncomplicated innocence of Angela Brazil's Schoolgirl novels. It is about the attempts of super-achiever, Daisy Meredith to submerge her poor elementary school background and find acceptance in snobby confines of Grangewood School for Young Ladies. Our plucky heroine undergoes a number of tribulations (including possible expulsion) before, by being honourable and straight in all things, all comes right in the end with Daisy saving sneaky Sybil and toady Monica-her arch-enemies and discovering the treasure of Grangewood, scoring the winning goal at hockey and finding her long-lost father!

The play is in two acts set in Grangewood School for Young Ladies. The period is 1927
