But the war with Germany is at its height. The museum authorities try to ban her on safety grounds. But, ironically during an air attack it is she who saves a major manuscript and the career of a curator who acknowledges her insights. Dorothy ...... Ellie Beaven Mrs Brackett ...... Sylvia Syms Mr Budge ...... Jonathan Coy Museum Director ...... Ian Masters Pharaoh Sety/Dr Ross ...... Harry Myers Caroline Eady ...... Susan Jameson Directed by Peter Kavanagh.

I always laugh when I hear a British phrase like "just up my street" and compare it to how it is said here in the US "right up my alley".  They are so close and I wonder how that happens.  Oh well I guess there are some things we will never know.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Rick
