I'm so glad you had a good time. Isn't it great? I first saw it years ago n a professional production and then again last year, performed by amateurs. The second time I felt it was too long but perhaps that was the fault of the production. The audience was very appreciative; a man behind us, who obviously hadn't know what to expect, was in hysterics and went out shouting schoolgirl slang.

It was fab. I can see what you mean about being too long - I did feel it might have dragged a bit towards the end, and a lot of the final scenes are a bit quieter and expositionary which didn't help. Our audience was really mixed in age and types, and I hope that it insires the little girls who were there to pick up Girls Own books.
