This is a program from Corn Stock Theatre’s production of “The Chalk Garden.” It ran July 28th through August 5th in 1967.

“The Chalk Garden” is a play by Enid Bagnold that premiered in 1955 on Broadway. The play tells the story of Mrs. St Maugham and her granddaughter Laurel, a disturbed child under Miss Madrigal’s care. The setting of the play was inspired by Bagnold’s own garden at North End House in Rottingdean, near Brighton, Sussex, the former home of Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The work has since been revived numerous times internationally and was made into a film in 1964.
