Then in walks a total stranger Mrs. Puffin who announces she saw in a vision that Jacky would not marry Victor. She then establishes her vision's accuracy by correctly predicting various hilarious domestic accidents. She also predicts Jacky will marry the young business associate, Roger Vincent, who has accompanied the Parkers to the Fordyce home. She also foretells Victor will ask release from the engagement as he's in love with Jacky's younger sister. The oracle proves to be amazingly accurate no wonder she's been carefully primed for her role as suburban seeress. <br /> <br /> Published by Samuel French in 1963.<br /> <br /> ==Translations and adaptations==<br /> <br /> == Performance history in South Africa ==<br /> <br /> 1963: Presented at the [[Alexander Theatre]], with [[Anne Ziegler]], [[Webster Booth]], [[Jane Fenn]], [[George Moore]], [[Deborah Francis]], [[Leonne Carnot]], [[Clive Pownall]], [[Paddy Canavan]], [[Anthony James]] and [[Michael Newell]], directed by [[John Hayter]].<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> <br /> https://websterboothanneziegler.wordpress.com/2019/12/16/webster-booth-and-anne-ziegler-theatre-in-south-africa-1956-1973/<br /> <br /> == Return to ==<br /> <br /> Return to [[PLAYS I: Original SA plays]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[PLAYS II: Foreign plays]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[PLAYS III: Collections]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[PLAYS IV: Pageants and public performances]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[South_African_Festivals|South African Festivals and Competitions]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[The ESAT Entries]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[Main Page]]<br />  </div>
