A revival of Denise Deegan's award winning comedy Daisy Pulls it Off in London directed by Nadine Hanwell. Arriving as the first ever scholarship pupil at the exclusive Grangewood School for Girls, Daisy Meredith is in for a spiffing time. Despite having to overcome the beastliness of a couple of absolute rotters and getting into some fearful scrapes, Daisy excels as much on the hockey pitch as in the classroom. Yet she is still bounding with enugh energy to search for the missing treasure that would save her beloved Grangewood's fortunes... all with the help of her best chum, the irrepressible madcap Trixie Martin. Bubbling over with schoolgirl high jinks and lashings of gool old fashioned fun, Daisy Pulls it Off is quite simply a ripping night out. Daisy Pulls it Off is an affectionate, keenly observed parody of life in an English boarding school for girls in a bygone era. It was originally staged in London's West End at the Globe Theatre (now Gielgud Theatre) in April 1983 when it won both the Olivier Award and Critics' Circle Award for 'Best Comedy' and enjoying a run of just under three years. The comedy was most recently revived at the Lyric Theatre in 2002 for a short two month season. This production of Daisy Pulls it Off in London is directed by Nadine Hanwell and comes into the West End folowing successful seasons at the Baron's Court Theatre in West London in 2008 and 2009. Daisy Pulls it Off in London at the Arts Theatre previews from 19 January 2010, openes on 21 January 2010 and closes on 6 February 2010. | |||||||
