The President's Message
It is my pleasure once again to write a short message for inclusion in the Programme of our 1966 Production " The New Moon."
I can assure our patrons that the Society has every confidence that this will prove another very attractive and happy Show and as President can assure them that, with the continued loyalty and enthusiasm of our members under the able and professional direction of our Producer, Mr. Edward Royce, Jnr. and following the long line of very successful Productions of the past, this will prove another vintage year to add up to the Society's high reputation and their pleasure.
As in the past we shall strive not only to give our patrons another Show to be remembered, but with the excellent patronage and financial support of our Vice-Presidents, we hope once again to fulfil the Society's ambition to give a generous sum in support of our local charities.
My personal thanks and appreciation to all concerned.
W. J. A. Peck, President.

The New Moon - Story of the Play
It is the period of the French Revolution and to the Mansion of Monsieur Beaunoir in New Orleans comes Vicomte Ribaud, Chief of Police of the King of France in search of Robert Misson an aristocratic Revolutionary who has been forced to leave France in a hurry. There he finds that Robert and his servant Alexander are Beaunoir's bond-servants.
Robert has in fact fallen in love with Marianne, Beaunoir's daughter who is almost engaged to Captain Duval, the Captain of Beaunoir's ship " The New Moon." Alexander is more than interested in Julie, Marianne's Maid, but unfortunately Clotilde is a complication.
Robert is eventually arrested and put on " The New Moon " to be shipped to France. Mistakenly he thinks Marianne has betrayed him, but by this time Marianne is in love with Robert and she uses Duval as a means of getting on board. The situation changes dramatically when a rescue ship commanded by Robert's friend Philippe, takes " The New Moon," and Robert and Philippe and their friends set out for the Isle of Pines to form a Colony of Free Men, taking Ribaud with them —and Marianne. The new Settlement prospers, but Ribaud has one more trump to play. By bringing Marianne and Robert together, he hopes to divert attention from his plan to have the new Colony seized by the French Ships which have arrived off the Island. Ribaud's trump is not the Ace however, the Monarchy has fallen and De Jean, the French Captain is there in the name of the Republic. Robert is appointed Governor, Marianne becomes Citizeness Misson and Ribaud is arrested.
