The Knight of the Burning Pestle

Taken from the Morganian Magazine in December 1958


The Dramatic Society which under the practised hand of Mr Morris has risen Phoenix-like from the Ashes of several pasts and is producing a Three Act Play on three nights in the last week of term. This is the first time this has happened since the War; so naturally we are waiting with crossed fingers and bated breath. It will be an exciting occassion for the play is Beaumont & Fletcher's "The Knight of the Burning Pestle" (what title could be more Morganian?) - that grand old roisterous comedy which should be natural for a school boy cast. A great deal of hard work has been put in by Mr Morris and his myrmidons and they deserve the resounding success which we trust they will have. Mr Ansdell and the Art boys have been labouring heroically on the set and Mr Tickner is directing the incidental songs which are a potent part of the play's charm.
