Young Woodley by John van Druten

Promotional postcard for Young Woodley by John van Druten. First publicly produced in England, New Theatre, 12th February 1928. Front of flyer for transfer to the Queens Theatre. It concerns a schoolboy at a top British public school who falls in love with his headmasters wife and is eventually expelled. Because of its negative depiction of public school life and its controversial subject matter the play was originally banned in the United Kingdom and was only staged in 1928. However, it was a major success in the United States and Van Druten moved there to work. The ban in Britain was eventually lifted and it ran for over 400 performances in the West End making a star of its lead Frank Lawton Date: 1928
