Daisy Pulls it Off

Dates: 4.8.2009 to 8.8.2009. Daisy Pulls It Off, first performed in 1983, is an affectionate pastiche of the classic girls' school story, crammed full of slang like 'topping', 'jolly' and 'scrummy'. The play captures the innocence and uncomplicated essence of Angela Brazil's schoolgirl novels from the 1920s which dealt with the highs and lows in the lives of middle-class schoolgirls: their charms, misfortunes and personal failures. Set in a prestigious all girls boarding school in a bygone era, the play follows our plucky heroine, Daisy Meredith, an elementary school girl and first scholarship student to attend Grangewood School. The privileged students are determined to make Daisy look bad in the eyes of the administration, which has its own problems. Can Daisy shake off the stigma of her poor school background and overcome the snobbish prejudice from her well-to-do schoolgirl rivals? Can she save the school from financial ruin before it's too late? Who is that mysterious whistling gardener? And more importantly will there be enough jam for tea.
