Item details

After being leading soprano in the choir for forty years, Sarah Cameron finds her place taken by a young girl with a beautiful voice. Sarah maintains that her voice is as good as ever it was and to prove this, sings "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name''. Her voice cracks at the word "Crown''. She tries again with the same result and realises that the crown she has worn for forty years is now cracked. This play has both pathos and humour. It won the Anstruther Gray Trophy for 1952.
