Class Play
THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH
The Play, an optimistic comedy of family loyalty and affection, brings the younger generation face to face with the older. The earlier scenes portray a family in which the parents are indulgent an the children wilful. Suddenly the family face the prospect of poverty. Comedy and pathos are delightfully interwoven in the course of the play, which has been enthusiastically praised by the critics.
