From my diary  27 Aug 1970

Scene 1
 Charlie Chaplin started the play with a fanfare and yawned in sync with the MGM lion's roar.  Then St Michael came out and got a big laugh, so Brian ad-libbed for waiting for quiet.  As he did the "here come da judge" routine St Peter comes on stage (laugh) and sings (no laughs).  As I crept onto the stage with my two helpers, Methylated Spirits (big laugh when I called them), I played to the laugher making faces and scorning the audience [ed. - heard that I actually scared younger children].  We jumped around acting meancingly as "Get your motor running, head out on the wild...born to be wild" played (big laugh).  Hitler goose-stepped onto the stage and you couldn't hear the music for the laughs.  He tries to make a speech, but his ranting only comes out as choking.  Samson came crawling on (weak from no hair)and the boys loved it.  St Peter gives back his strength and when he flexed his muscles, wow!!!!  He was told to enter heaven, but when he opens the gate the handle comes off in his hand he tosses it to the audience causing a minor riot. Isekeli got the best reaction each time he came on [ed. - he was the school's Methodist minister and the boys had never seen him as a regular person, let alone a clown].
Next was Delilah got a laugh when I put my arm around her and chatted her up [ed. - headmaster's wife].  Hannibal skit died - they didn't understand "May a mongoose bite your toe".  Florence Nightengale got some mild laughs.  Charlie did the sausage (snake charmer) skit and he drove the boys wild with his facial expressions.  Cleopatra was carried on by slaves with "Sieg Heil" sound track playing (just like at the dress hearsal) so we stalled until it finished playing and then did our lines.  Nabukalo Creek got a big laugh and did the shake bit, especially when Peter stopped shaking.  Charlie does a drunk skit and brings down the house again.  Two pirates precede Bluebeard with his wuki.  The banana peel went over and the spyglass was great.  Charlie does the rope routine then Igor and Frankenstein which was great, Igor jumping up and down on me and the monster tearing things apart.  Then the two thugs got big laughs while Al Capone and I only mild ones.  But when I kicked Al I got a good one.  Charlie does a soldier routine and then the big one!!!!  Heasley dressed as a girl enters dancing and for the second time laughs and screams so loud that we could hear the music.  But that was nothing compared to when he opened his mouth and spoke in the NY bitchy high-pitched accent.  James Bond was weak.  Superman was so-so, but when he kicked Peter big laugh and when he flew off the stage saying: "5-4-3-2-1 somebody open the door", broke me up the only time I couldn't maintain my evil leer.  When Charlie non-chalantly picked up the dumbbell weight that Superman couldn't budge we got the biggest laugh of scene 1. I crawled off, a bugle played taps and the big MOD badge only got small laughs.

Scene 2
 First big laugh came when I ranted about "meat and casava, meat and casava, meat and casasva EVERY NIGHT".  Tom Jones sang and then the climax.  Murray and I did the "slowly I turned" routine four times and my legs were going like crazy when he choked me.  When I gave him the pie did we get a laugh.  Then he stalked me and gave it to unsuspecting Dick who then stalked Murray and gave it to McDougal.  It was an all on food fight from then; I got Pauline and got one from Murray.  I stalked Jemesa but he wasn't vert cooperative.  Charlie came on and declared "Lights Out" and Dick flung a pie at him but missed.  As we took our bows Brian got Heasley square on the head at the same time getting one from Dick.
