Whistle for Silence
A school comedy for older children by Donald Green.
Adapted for television by Peter Ling.
The action takes place at St. Radigund's Academy for Boys
(Second performance: March 14)
(Thomas Conliffe appears by arrangement with Alan Hay, Ltd.)
Brayne's the name, so the boys call him 'Brainy' - and he is! He is small, spectacled, studious, and it certainly seems unfair that Mr. Skate should send him to stop all the bigger boys making such a noise. But it so happens that noise is rather a speciality of Brayne's: he can stop it with a whistle. Not an ordinary whistle (apart from anything else, it is squeezed, not blown) but when it is used the results are very strange indeed.
