AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Little is known about the plot of this play, which pre-dated Dann's first big success (the prize-winning In Beauty It Is Finished) by six years. Along with a three-act farce called Family Failings, it is Dann's earliest work.
Notes
-
The manuscript in the Hanger Collection is described as a two-act play; contemporary newspapers report (likely erroneously) that Odds was a one-act comedy.
Production Details
-
Produced by the Sandgate Amateur Dramatic Society (of which Dann was then an active member) in around 1923 or 1924.
