"Waterloo" at 1YA
Conan Doyle’s Play t [HE Auckland ‘Dramatic Players have selected Conan Doyle’s oneact play "Waterloo" for performance at 1YA on Thursday,,September 19. The play is one of Conan Doyle’s best for radio purposes, inasmuch as the plot is simple to follow, effects and musical background assist in the general production, and although the play has its moments of comedy, a serious strain is always evident. The central figure is "Corporal Gregory Brewster," one of Wellington’s men at Quatre Bras and. Waterloo, and the old soldier’s insistence in drifting off into reminiscences of the old days is particularly amusing. The play was produced at 4YA recently: on the occasion of the Waterloo anniversary by Major Lampen and received an excellent reception. Mr. J. F. Montague and his. players can be depended upon to provide Auckland listeners with a fine evening’s entertainment in producing this ‘play. 2
