Shebbear College Lower School staged a production of Denise Deegan?s Daisy Pulls it Off in the Memorial Hall.
Forms 1 to 3 with the help of producer and director, English teacher Ian Burnett, and other members of staff, entertained the audience to a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Daisy Pulls It Off is an affectionate, keenly observed parody of life in an English boarding school for girls in a bygone era.
It is about the attempts of super achiever Daisy Meredith (Sophie Buist) to submerge her poor elementary school background and find acceptance in the snobby confines of Grangewood School for Young Ladies.
Our plucky heroine underwent a number of tribulations, including possible expulsion, before, by being honourable and straight in all things, all comes right in the end.
Daisy saves the lives of sneaky Monica (Hannah Welby) and toady Sybil (Lucy Smeddle) ? her arch-enemies ? discovering the treasure of Grangewood, scoring the winning goal at hockey and finding her long-lost father! All with the help of her best chum, the irrepressible madcap Trixie Martin (Sarah Kneebone)
