J.M. Barrie by Herbert Rose Barraud, 1892 (National Portrait Gallery)

The Admirable Crichton

by J M Barrie, directed by Susan Jordan.

7 pm, Tuesday 17 October, Upstairs at The Harold, 70A Ross Street, Forest Lodge. Entry by donation.

This play was a precursor to Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey. Barrie’s take on the English class system is as fresh and funny as when it was written in 1902.
