A 20/20 Legacy: the centenary of the Northern School of Music

Artefact

Programme
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1957

The Northern School of Music's Speech and Drama students did a few of G.B. Shaw's plays. With a largely female student body some, any part is up for grabs, male or female.

Interestingly, Shaw is a weird one. By the time these plays were being performed in 1957 by the school, he'd been dead a few years. His socialism and Marxism became quite vicious and turned full circle into firm beliefs about eugenics. I wonder if they knew this when they programmed his work?
