Eight keen readers participated at our April meeting. We read from the play Crown Matrimonial. A thought provoking and interesting play set in Marlborough House between 1936 and 1945 focusing on the private family drama of Edward VIII and the Royal Family leading to the abdication. The play portrayed the major constitutional crisis and the private and public conflict that ensued.
There was much discussion on the completion of our read, comparing present day conflict involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Jill also provided us with historic information on a number of members of the Royal Family in relation to the family tree.
Next month, on John's suggestion, we plan to read the hilarious The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomens's Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of Macbeth. Some members will recall we read this play some time ago and we all went home smiling!
