Cicely Hamilton (1872-1952) wrote several plays tackling social issues. But it was Diana of Dobson’s that caught London’s eye and heart with it’s light touch and romantic bent in spite of it’s consideration ‘serious issues.’ First performed in London in 1908, the play was “accepted as a true picture of the shop-assistant’s life,” to quote from a 1908 press clipping that, “convinced people that something should be done about it.”

The success of DIANA OF DOBSON’S turned an unknown writer by the name of Cicely Hamilton into the toast of the English stage! Hamilton’s clever manipulation of “cup and saucer” conventions of the London stage offered theatergoers a romantic comedy that was at the same time thoroughly illuminating and thought provoking.
