From Barrie Shaw:
The cast, with the Headmaster and an unnamed visiting dignitary.

From Barrie Shaw:
A dressing-room scene, with all but two of the boys named. Barrie's note says he thinks that (a) the bottle on the table contained pure alcohol from Bodger Ashworth's lab, and (b) by the look of things he'd just sampled it.

From Derek Morris:
The photograph below was clipped from the Farnworth Journal of Friday February 25th 1955. The caption reads: "Pupils of Farnworth Grammar School in the Shakespearean tragedy "Hamlet," which is being presented at the school this week."
