Margaret Crowell Child ' s Play takes place at St. Anne ' s Catholic girls school, during a ueek in January. As the curtain rose on Ron Stewart ' s beautifully designed Gothic setting the atmo- sphere was effortlessly established. The ghost-like presence of the students, although they had few speaking parts, added to the overall mood of the play. Friction between faculty members Josie Dobbs whose girlscout leader manner is loved by all in contrast with the witchlike character of Mary Malley, an outcast in the school. The students seem possessed as they commit acts of violence amongst each other. The build-up of tensions between Dobbs and Malley grew more intense when obscene notes are being sent to Malley ' s convalescent mother. Malley seems to be losing her mind when she accuses Dobbs of sending the notes. Amidst blood and demonic possession, the play ends with Malley killing herself, leaving Dobbs with her beloved students and the de- monic presence which she unleashed.
