In Edward Percy and Reginald Denham\u2019s play, Miss Fiske (Caroline Oakley) lives in a remote house with her companion, Ellen Creed (Kath Pagdin).  Ellen, who has devoted her life to her sisters, Louisa and Emily (simple-minded maiden ladies played by Deborah Hester and Helen Mills), invites them to visit her.  These eccentric persons make themselves at home, but when Miss Fiske reminds Ellen it is time for them to go back, they are unwilling to do so.  Miss Fiske and Ellen quarrel, and then Miss Fiske disappears\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around now, David Laine got a \u00a33,000 grant (worth \u00a39,000 today) from the Southey Community Chest.  It was used to buy spotlights and a lighting desk, and a pile of wood which was used to re-make the stage and stop it squeaking. The lights and the lighting desk came to Grenoside when the two societies merged in 2010<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
