The Admirable Crichton
George Brown Theatre School
November 10 - 20, 2010
Lord Loam has modern ideas about his household; he believes in treating his servants as his equals - at least sometimes. His butler, Crichton, still believes that members of the serving class should know their place and be happy there. But when the Loam family is shipwrecked on a deserted island with the self-reliant Crichton and lady's maid Tweeny, the strict Edwardian class system is put to the test. First performed in 1902 and wildly popular, Barrie's play is a comment on the illogical nature of social class distinction.
