by BERNARD SHAW starring Irene Worth with Richard Briers and Angela Pleasence
Written - and banned - three-quarters of a century ago, the play set out ' to draw attention to the truth that prostitution is caused not by female depravity and male licentious-ness, but simply by underpaying, undervaluing, and overworking women so shamefully that the poorest of them are forced to resort to prostitution to keep body and soul together'; and to expose the fact that it is ' organised and exploited as a big international commerce for the profit of capitalists like any other commerce, and very lucrative to great city estates ...' (From Shaw's Preface to the play)
Arranged and produced by H. B. FORTUIN
(A feature about the play and its subsequent history, by Eric Ewens : 21 October, Third)

"Out of uniform and standing up, our beautiful bandsmen were simply ciphers. We towered above them. And they were wearing flashy light-blue suits and gingery shoes. To think of all the work we'd put in to get them to take us out! Gladys whispered: Let's get them in the flicks, quick, so nobody sees them"
