Joint Drama and Opera Production

March 1953

This page records and celebrates a unique happening in the history of Farnham’s two Grammar Schools during the early post-war years! Thanks to the efforts and cooperation of teachers at the two schools, there was a combined production of drama and music at The Church House, Farnham.

Although the individual schools staged other events in later years, that included pupils from the other school, this seems to be the only combined event. There are many possible explanations for the rather quaint policy of keeping the pupils separated in this way, which applied over many years, but let it suffice to say that it only succeeded in limiting the artistic contact that occurred between the boys and the girls of the two schools.

The photographs below are kindly contributed to our files by Julia Wilson (née Beeken).
