Who or What is OLEANNA?

The name tells you nothing about the play. This is not a 'feelgood' or 'Pollyanna' story. Nor is it so much about political correctness (the 'new puritanism' as Barry Humphries calls it) as it is about psychological bullying. During the second act, I couldn't help reflecting on the current Rolf Harris situation. At this stage, as far as I know, he has not been charged with any offence. Nevertheless, the publicity surrounding his arrest has undoubtedly done irreparable damage to his reputation as a 'family entertainer'. Theatre is meant to question and inform as well as entertain and this play does that. It is well-written and directed and superbly acted. Seating is limited in this very small theatre, so book.
