At the beginning of World War II Mrs Edith Cale came to live in Harwell, and as she had previously been involved in producing plays, she at once had a drama group going. She soon had a very competent group working for several charities, including the British Legion benefit fund and other worthwhile charities.
The plays included The Ghost Train, A Pair of Diamond Buckles, The Ladies of Cranford, Interference, and A Christmas Carol, which was a superb production.
The actions played to full houses in the village for two nights for each production and also visited surrounding villages, where they were always made very welcome.
