SOUTH RIDING
FRIDAY, MAY 6 @ 7:30PM & 12:30AM
It’s 1934, and Sarah Burton, the new headmistress of Kiplington Girls High, is returning to her native, conservative northern town, bringing fiery determination to empower her girls and yank the sorely outdated school into the future. But everything from her fashionable ensembles to her anti-war sentiments and modern ideas attract the disapproval of the stern, brooding landowner, Robert Carne, who doggedly clings to a vanishing way of life even as the past tightens its malicious grip on him. Oppressed by overwhelming debt — and his absent wife’s portrait hanging in the estate he can no longer afford to upkeep — he is forced to send his beloved but unstable daughter, Midge, to Kiplington Girls High, where again, he crosses swords with Sarah.
