I remember seeing two such plays when at the end one a girl was put over a male teachers lap and spanked and one where two boys were slippered.
Anyone else remember seeing such plays at their school?

Ron, can you remember any more about the production you mentioned, e.g. was it primary or secondary, was it done in fun or was a ‘serious’ moment, was it done in front of parents or just staff and students?
You triggered memories of productions my junior school used to put on for parents. One which I remember was an excerpt from Hansel and Gretel. In one rehearsal our male teacher suggested to the girl playing the witch that she threaten Hansel and Gretel with the slipper if they misbehaved! This the girl duly did, firstly threatening ‘4 with the slipper’. This got a reaction from some of the boys watching who had had that very punishment by the male teacher/production director. The girl, Pauline, clearly enjoyed getting a reaction, so repeated the threat, this time making it 8 whacks, and so on, until she got to ’18 whacks’! And one lad standing near me, who had had the slipper more times than anyone, was saying things like “What?! I’d die if I had that many…” and so on. The reason I remember the incident so clearly, including the actual number of whacks mentioned, was that upto that time I had not been given the slipper by any teacher, but, like all of us, was always fascinated whenever the subject came up. Despite being only 9 or 10 I thought that the teacher was playing a power-game in this rehearsal, and was clearly enjoying the boys’ reactions of “Ouch”, “I couldn’t take that many”, “my bum would be red-hot”, etc..
I dreaded that scene when we got to it in the performance, because my mother was there and I would have been embarrassed about the subject of slippering being presented to her, but to my amazement Pauline didn’t even mention it. Maybe that was her decision, or perhaps the teacher told her later not to do it. He had had his fun in rehearsal.

Nicholas It was at a secondary school and a production of Kiss Me Kate. The part of Fred was played by a fouth former aged 16 or so and Lilli was played by one of the teachers. The school play was open to parents and public as well as a seperate showing for the school.
Fred was told by the director to spank Lilli for real and hard which caused great delight when produced in front of the school.

Once again going through some old threads.I was in a school play at the age of 12/13, and I made the most stupid mistake of my life.
The play was about King Alfred and the burning of the cakes. The drama teacher asked me if I would like to play the role of King Alfred. I had a glance at the script and didn’t fancy having to learn so many lines, so I told her I would like to be in the play , but in a minor role.
She then gave the part of King Alfred to another boy, and I set about learning the dozen or so lines I had.To my absolute horror I then noticed that the very last action in the play involved King Alfred putting his daughter across his knee and spanking her, HARD, as the script said.
I was as sick as a parrot as they say.I had never slapped a girl on the bottom and to lose out on a guaranteed spanking was an absolute sickener.The only good thing about it was that I could at least witness a spanking, and did so both in rehearsal and in the play itself.The girl, who was a year younger than me wore tight trousers for the part which increased my frustration no end.
The boy who did the spanking did it in very much slow motion, and was encouraged by a sixth form girl who was helping in the direction to smack her harder, as the script said, and did so quite hard in rehearsal but reverted to the slow motion in the actual play.
The girl very much enjoyed it, and so did the rest of the school when we performed it, some girls screaming with the pleasure of seeing a classmate getting a spanking.
It must have been a good six months before I had the pleasure of smacking a girl on the bottom, and that was with a slipper, I think I gave an account of this on another thread.

Oh dear Declan! Turning down that part was certainly a blunder, but from your posts you seem to have made up for it since!
I’m pleased to see that you are delving into the older threads on this estimable Forum. There is some fascinating on-topic stuff there, and some of the general repartee is of an excellent standard too!

Afraid in our day, we had a grand total of one co-production with the Girls’ Grammar.
That was the well-known comic opera by Offenbach, La Belle Helene.
Well-known, that is, for its’ total lack of what Offenbach might call Fesseance & we call spanking.
Plus yours truly had and still has a reasonably emotive voice for certain types of music. Unfortunately, Offenbach’s repetoire or oeuvre didn’t include said types-at least I’ve yet to hear anything remotely like ska, heavy metal or doo-wop with his name attached to it!
We can forgive him lacking Goth or Folk-Blues credentials, as even I wasn’t into those until after schooldays.
I do recall Mario Lanza spanking Kathryn Grayson in The Toast Of New Orleans, but that wasn’t an MGS production or an actual opera!! She just deserved it, being highly coquetteish and beautifully proportioned for such activity, apart from being a looker & no mean actress.

Junior School
The One where the boys were slippered was called Captain Cockatoo, it was about two boys who runaway from school to go to sea, The punishment of the boys took place at the end of the play when the boys were returned to school, Now in the script as I remeber called fro the boys to get six of the best with the cane, but the staff, teachers, parents, The young cast age 10 and 11 was not too happy about being caned The teachers and others were concerned the cane would hurt too much. So it was decieded to give three of the slipper instead, as the audience of parents and others could hear it at the at the back of the school hall.
All the young actors inc. I, as a understudy, I was slippered in rehearsal as well, The Actor giving the slipper did not want to slipper too hard in case we cried, It was done as a “serious moment” at the end of the play, It was shown/done twice one to the school and one for parents etc.
I have to go now but if asked I can give more info above as well as info on the other two plays at school

For the centenary of my junior school, a pageant was performed. The subject was, loosely, education through the ages.
During a sketch portraying the victorian origin of the school, one of my classmates played the headmaster caning one of our other classmates, both in period dress. For this he was loaned the school cane. The caner took the opportunity to give some decent swipes to the other lads bottom, and I should say that the show ran for 3 days! To his credit the canee didn’t make a fuss. The two boys were, and remain to this day, best friends.

I did not experience the use of CP in any school production but I did witness the unathorised use of it by a pupil. It was in a S3 (age 15) class the 1950’s. We had a double period of English immediately after lunch on Thursday’s. Our English teacher taught Geography as his second subject. He used the belt when punishment was justified, but not excessively. On this particular day the first of the two periods was completed normally but at the start of the second period he announced that he would have to leave us for a short while to supervise a student teacher who was taking a geography class in another part of the school two floors below us. He left us work to do while he was away.
After a couple of minutes the class idiot made his way out to the teacher’s desk and took his belt out of the drawer. It was the type of belt that most of our teachers used. About 2 feet long, very thick brown leather and split into two tails for almost half its length. “Anyone want the belt?” he shouted. There was a mixture of surprise and excitement in the class. Four boys made their way to the front to try it, but no girls. With great hilarity each boy held his hand out and was strapped by the idiot once or twice. The class idiot was encouraged by some in the class. “Belt him hard!”, “Give him 6 of the best!”, “Give him more!” and so on. The girls seemed as keen as the boys to encourage the performance and giggled as the boys over-reacted in fake agony as they were strapped. I sat at my desk scared stiff in case our teacher might return at any moment and goodness knows what his reaction would have been. He could have a short fuse at times.
In the event the boys were all strapped, not very hard, went back to their seats and the belt went back into the drawer. I think most pupils enjoyed the fun and when the teacher arrived back in class about 10 minutes later we were all quiet and working away in silence. Little did he know what went on in his absence!

Kiss Me Kate is sixty years old and the spanking scene has been removed from Tufts University or banned in Boston. What may be considered innocent in a common high school production takes on a new dimension as students mature in college. This scholarly link may shed some light on how this issue.

Kiss Me Kate. Amateur thespians must have taken pleasure beyond taming through the year. Irving Claw was complaining to the Senator Kefauver Commission about Samuel and Bella Spewack were making fortunes on Broadway on their 1948 book while Betty Page, et. al., were being raked over the coals. To an extent it was in the eye of the beholder but don’t think for one moment that venereal pleasures were being had on both the inflictor and the viewers and perhaps more with both genders than most would have thought of in the age of the innocence. I believe rehearsals with less clothes repeated this scene more than others than maybe needed and not simply to vent anger.

Hi Declan. I just discovered this site. I saw your post about the King Alfred play. I can only imagine how you felt after you read the rest of the script! I was curious about your discription of the play and rehersal spankings. You said the boy wanted to do it “slow motion” until another older girl prompted him to do it hard as the script said. Then you said he did it quite hard in rehersal. I was wondering how hard is “quite hard” and how many swats did she get. It’s just too bad you can’t give us a first hand account!!!

i recall in my first year at local high school being involved in a play–its so may years ago i cant think what it was named—wrote by our head of english i think
i played a policeman and paul same year as me played one of the little brats
paul was a bit of a naughty lad always playing tricks and teasing others—what he didnt have in height he made up with his mouth—cheeky comments etc
one scene involved me grabbing him by the ear hauling him over my knee and delivering 3 smacks to his bottom
the play was performed over three nights
someone not sure who advised paul to wear two pairs of underpants under his shorts–old fashioned school boy ones—-so that he would not feel the smacks
on the third night before the production i very sneakily opened his holdall bag and removed the spare underpants he had brought with him—-when he couldnt find them he didnt seem overly concerned–maybe he thought he had forgotten to pack them
unknown to him i had a cunning plan to pay him back for many of his mischievous acts
on stage when it came to the scene i grabbed him by the ear much harder than i had done on previous nights hauled him over my knee and knowing he had just the thin shorts and his usualy white underpants on i delivered three really hard smacks–much harder then on previous nights—i could tell he felt them from his little yelps so although not in the script i gave him a further six very very hard smacks
after the play i was asked why i had given paul a spanking instead of the three smacks i was supposed to give——
i innocently replied that i had got carried away with the acting
i was delighted he got what he deserved and i got away with it hehehehe

While the script says Kate can prove she was spanked hard with technicolor. Joy Turbin, British actress could prove it in 1952 Melbourne. I think in the early fifties they played it for real for the audience for they would not want bit in any other way. Joy said she had four weeks with rainbow bruises. Her ego was bruised for she felt she wasn’t being treated like a star in the second link. She was soon to return to Britain with a long flight to sit through from Down Under.

“I’ve got photographs in Technicolor of what you’ve done to me,” is one of Joy Turpin’s best lines in the show.
“RAINBOW” BRUISES”
And Miss Turpin says that although she cannot produce photographs off stage, she can exhibit a huge collection of colourful bruises, including one which is still “rainbow hued” after four weeks.
“Sometimes it’s got as far as bandaging, but usually ointment and massage repair most of the damage,” said Miss Turpin.

For Fred Graham
I have only just picked up your comments about the King Alfred play. I have been PC-less for a while , but I’m now back on line. I have been going down the library but it is not easy to look at this site there. I did look once when I was the only person in there apart from the librarian , but as soon as I did a whole group of schoolkids with teachers and assistants came in and I had to log off quickly!
You asked about the play and in particular the rehearsal. As I recall it , and I do have a good memory about these things, the boy , encouraged by this sixth form girl smacked this girl quite hard, three of four smacks, enough for her to say “ouch” a couple of times. She was wearing a quite tight mini skirt.
In the dress rehearsal , wearing tight trousers, he reverted to this slow motion action , again just three or four smacks and again this happened during the actual play when we performed it. Sadly I cannot remember the name of the girl as I would be tempted to look her up on social networking sites and perhaps ask her if she remembered it ( I’m not sure I would though! )

1953 was quite a year in london and broadway theater. Two shows realistically highlighting the spanking of the lead characters were being performed simultaneously in London and then in the states with a different cast. The first of course is Kiss Me Kate. The first article wonders how two girls in different plays are spanked with out an occasional day off. Six nights and two matinees or eight times a week. The columnist’s story entitled “Wear and Tear” IMHO feigns empathy and reveals how bottom aware he truly is.

I once dutifully went to see a neighbour appear in an amateur production of The Housemaster by Ian Hay. I was rather stimulated when the curtains went back at the beginning to reveal a uniformed schoolboy kneeling on a chair, bottom towards the audience. Unfortunately the “caning” had taken place prior to the start of the action and the best we got was some chit-chat about going off to examine the marks in a mirror.

Drama Works.
The play is based on a fictional injustice which takes place in a girls’ school in 1955. The school is small and not particularly prestigious. Mary, a quiet 15 year old, tries to defend a friend during a classroom fight and is then caned, along with the other two girls. Her mother tries to demand an apology for the injustice.
The play deals with the issue of punishment in schools and the impact of injustice. It is a stylised play using a mixture of physical theatre techniques, naturalism and multirole playing.

As I have noted on more than one occasion Kiss Me Kate has lost its popularity as a high school play due to politically correct feminists in spite of its good fit encouraging singers and hoofers working together. Self-esteem is not a magical potion but involves developing and affirming talents that some have and others don’t. Not all can excel in athletics like yours truly to an extent.

A number of years ago a lot of primary school and secondary schools produced a school play on stage, I do not think this is often done anymore.
I remember seeing two such plays when at the end one a girl was put over a male teachers lap and spanked and one where two boys were slippered.
Anyone else remember seeing such plays at their school?

I have a school drama anecdote to share from my days at an East Midlands junior school. In my final year before going on to ‘big school’ we were assembled in the hall one afternoon to be entertained by one of the lower years (second or third I don’t recall for sure).
I think it might have been a last day of term thing and normal lessons were suspended. They performed a number of playlets that they had written themselves. One of the dramas revolved around a very naughty girl who was constantly in trouble and getting punished with the slipper (plimsoll). I think she must have had to bend over about half a dozen times in the skit that was pitched somewhere in between Enid Blyton’s The Naughtiest Girl in the School and Minnie the Minx. It was a boy who slippered her each time, but they were just ‘pretend’ strokes of course.
Even though I was seated near the back of the hall, the thing that stands out most in my memory is that she wore a short summer dress and every time she bent over you could see her knickers which were a very distinctive shade of turquoise!
I knew the name of the girl, in fact she was the younger sister of a friend of my brother. We didn’t go on to the same secondary school but I occasionally saw her in later years and always felt a warm inner glow when I thought about that afternoon in the school hall. The nostalgia was tinged with regret that if only I’d been a year or two younger I might have been in her class when they were rehearsing the drama or even got a chance to play the authority figure with the slipper.

As I have noted on more than one occasion Kiss Me Kate has lost its popularity as a high school play due to politically correct feminists in spite of its good fit encouraging singers and hoofers working together. Self-esteem is not a magical potion but involves developing and affirming talents that some have and others don’t. Not all can excel in athletics like yours truly to an extent.

In the fifties and sixties there were many ways for high school girl ending up over a boy’s knee and getting spanked for there were a plethora of plays that made that moment to promote sales.
Story line.
Graeme and Sarah Lorimer’s “Maudie” is passing through the oracular phase, and for many the high spot of the play at East High School Friday night was the spanking she got from her future brother-in-law, “Jerry”.

Images from from an adult blog site with images that are definitely not adult content. Chronologically by date the only one that could have happened when I was high school in 1970. I could never have the musical role of Kiss Me Kate but I would be the first in line for the cast calling for this one. Her style reflects the typical student of the seventies at this rehearsal. Some schools have two nights and a matinee over two weekends or six performances. Add that rehearsals and that amounts to a lot of spanking. I hope these girls behaved during that week.
The play was popular on the high school level and ran its course of about twenty years. It may be considered politically incorrect so it will not likely be revived.

By far the best caption is the one above the rehearsal with the girl in jeans Andy accomplishes a suppressed desire. So much for innocence.

1953 was quite a year in london and broadway theater. Two shows realistically highlighting the spanking of the lead characters were being performed simultaneously in London and then in the states with a different cast. The first of course is Kiss Me Kate. The first article wonders how two girls in different plays are spanked with out an occasional day off. Six nights and two matinees or eight times a week. The columnist’s story entitled “Wear and Tear” IMHO feigns empathy and reveals how bottom aware he truly is.

Disgusted of Nottingham,
May I suggest that a real computer whiz could have easily stopped the outrage by causing the four crosses above the stage to turn red with an appropriate emission of noises of disapprobation.

“Kiss Me Kate” has not been forgotten by Westbury theatre buffs.The ebullient performer was somewhat miffed at the realistic spanking her leading man, Earl Wrightson,was administering to her at the time.The script of the musical called for a slap accompanied by the line “Here is something to remember me by!” right after Miss Morgan gets spanked. But apparentlyJane became so carried away by the spanking,the slap became a slug and Wrightson fell to the floor. Later Jane told newsmen: “I’m sorry I hit him so hard. I didn’t want to hurt him. I only wanted him to know he was spanking me too hard. Wrightson,had an ice pack on his chin during intermission.

Le Pouvoir des Folies Théâtrales par Jan Fabre
There is no country other than France when it comes to stage nudity. Je ne sais pas quoi dire.
Translated commentaries.
But beyond these aesthetic and philosophical references or its place in the history of the theatre, the power of theatrical madness is before a show sensory, carnal and sensitive, with extraordinary performers, of beauty to take your breath away, not to be missed under any circumstances.
CLICK
At the end of the performance, an actor lays an actress over his knees and slaps her bare buttocks until she can no longer take the pain and answers the riddle “1982?”: This is theatre like it was to be expected and foreseen, the actress with the red buttocks shrieks.
CLICK
“The Power of Theatrical Madness” is built on numbing, often punishing repetition and rituals of psychological and physical cruelty. There is much nudity and ceremonial dressing and undressing. But titillation is downplayed by the rigor of the movements and the dimness of the lighting.
CLICK
It’s titillating enough to warrant a caveat.

For Fred Graham
I have only just picked up your comments about the King Alfred play. I have been PC-less for a while , but I’m now back on line. I have been going down the library but it is not easy to look at this site there. I did look once when I was the only person in there apart from the librarian , but as soon as I did a whole group of schoolkids with teachers and assistants came in and I had to log off quickly!
You asked about the play and in particular the rehearsal. As I recall it , and I do have a good memory about these things, the boy , encouraged by this sixth form girl smacked this girl quite hard, three of four smacks, enough for her to say “ouch” a couple of times. She was wearing a quite tight mini skirt.
In the dress rehearsal , wearing tight trousers, he reverted to this slow motion action , again just three or four smacks and again this happened during the actual play when we performed it. Sadly I cannot remember the name of the girl as I would be tempted to look her up on social networking sites and perhaps ask her if she remembered it ( I’m not sure I would though! )
I wonder how many parents are keen on having their daughter play this part. I’m sure a lot of feminists Mom’s are not pleased to have theirs be so humiliated on stage at such a tender age.
The kids enjoy it and that is what matters in my book. An exceptional performance follows from 2013 production from Weston High School in Connecticut.

I remember aged 12 being in a school play—but cant remember what it was called
I was the policeman and one scene I was to grab a rascal of a boy by the ear then give him a cuff round the ear
but it was decided that hitting him on the head was too dangerous so was changed to me giving him a smack on the bottom
we had two performances and the first I gave him a really hard smack
which he certainly felt
he made the mistake next evening telling me that he had put two pairs of underpants on as the smack had really stung–so I just made sure I smacked harder hahahaha

Of more recent as on May 2015, La Fille Mal Gardee ballet is often used as a child’s introduction to the stage as it was for the 14-year-old Morgan Rust as in the Indiana Ballet Conservatory. She has a twin named Julia to boot or to slipper. ;)r

A number of years ago a lot of primary school and secondary schools produced a school play on stage, I do not think this is often done anymore.
I remember seeing two such plays when at the end one a girl was put over a male teachers lap and spanked and one where two boys were slippered.
Anyone else remember seeing such plays at their school?

BBC Kiss Me Kate 2014/2015. The show features Ben Davis and Alexandra Silber. It’s a splendid rendition!
She has more spunk to spank out of her than most actresses.
Go ahead and try to spank me if you dare.
CLICK
It’s very creative in it attempt to reduce her mortification. This scene allows Alexandra a modicum of dignity by modifying the age old tradition of a good old fashioned bloomers up over the knee spanking. But a spanking on stage is a spanking nonetheless.
CLICK
“Kiss Me, Kate does have its anachronisms: I can’t imagine, for example, the charity Co-ordinated Action Against Domestic Abuse (CAADA) ever organizing an outing to go and see it.”
CLICK
It has a fantastic talent laden production with Ben Davis and Alexandra Silber. They both hail from the good old USA. The theatrical production sold out within minutes, meaning that over 6,000 people were in attendance at the live performance in Royal Albert Hall. The 1948 show never grow old. It’s Cole Porter at his finest hour.

This is a follow up of a October 24, 2012 posting where the play Men are like Streetcars was mentioned.
CLICK
In the fifties and sixties there were many ways for high school girl ending up over a boy’s knee and getting spanked for there were a plethora of plays that made that moment to promote sales.
Story line.
Graeme and Sarah Lorimer’s “Maudie” is passing through the oracular phase, and for many the high spot of the play at East High School Friday night was the spanking she got from her future brother-in-law, “Jerry”.

Images from from an adult blog site with images that are definitely not adult content. Chronologically by date the only one that could have happened when I was high school in 1970. I could never have the musical role of Kiss Me Kate but I would be the first in line for the cast calling for this one. Her style reflects the typical student of the seventies at this rehearsal. Some schools have two nights and a matinee over two weekends or six performances. Add that rehearsals and that amounts to a lot of spanking. I hope these girls behaved during that week.
The play was popular on the high school level and ran its course of about twenty years. It may be considered politically incorrect so it will not likely be revived.

By far the best caption is the one above the rehearsal with the girl in jeans Andy accomplishes a suppressed desire. So much for innocence.

Bear with my introduction. High school students were often asked to act in one play dramas that more often than not were lighthearted comedies. Sponsors of programs and admissions were used to help the school play meet expenses as well as to support extracurricular activities.
I was editor of my yearbook and sought out $10, $25 and $50 sponsors as well as raise $500 in a car wash as fundraisers. Girls were sprayed by boys acting age appropriate before the feminists killjoys came on the scene! All these scenes come from yearbooks where as editor I manufactured a scene that involved a female preside of the Student Council has a girl across her knee with hand ready to spank for the offense of calling her a mildly derisive ethnic name. She didn’t touch the girl, Detention note were given by girls that wrote boys up for minor violations and vice-a-versa to the yardstick wielding (hardly likely) principal. Please don’t think I make those things up. The truth is often stranger than fiction! You won’t find the on other Forums. If they gave spanked the miscreants you know that would be fantasy
The unfairness was that sports were subsidized by the school’s budget that cost a considerable amount of money to defray the cost of busing as well as renting buses. The arts are always under supported to this day. Smaller schools had fewer students join drama clubs than sports. They couldn’t be musicals or plays requiring a large cast or many acts.
The unfortunate things is that aspiring female thespians were more likely to be spanked than boys. They were not allowed to kiss passionately but vigorous spankings were fine and dandy.
The Courting of Marie Jeurvin by Gwen Pharis Ringwood was a typical one act play requiring only a small cast. It served for fifty years as a selection for a school play.
Background:
Returning to Alberta in 1939, Ringwood spent the next few years using the knowledge and experience acquired in Chapel Hill to recreate Alberta folklore in drama. In The Courting of Marie Jenvrin, she produced a slight comedy of a vivacious French-Canadian girl courted by three men: young Louis Hebert, middle-aged Mr. Dinsmore and the witty Irish hard-rock miner, Michael Lorrigan. Tricked into vowing she will marry the man who can give her a Jersey cow, she is unaware that Dinsmore can arrange to have the cow flown in. Michael gets Marie out of a legal predicament and she settles for marriage with Michael. The audience is aware that she, like the protagonist in The Taming of the Shrew, will triumph. The dialogue is humorous, the characters realistic, the romantic touches fun. Never meant to be anything more, it is simply lighthearted entertainment.

The Medicine Man was a staple of high school plays following its 1980 debut written by David Crote. Simple productions are preferred with small casts and wholesomeness. Dinner theaters are a way of raising needed funds for the school.

Corporal “chastisement” (biblical alternative to word “punishment”) is not a rare occurrence in Christian schools.

(She leaps on him, trying to scratch his eyes. He grabs both her hands, and pulls her down across his lap, beginning to spank her.)
AGNES: Quit that!
SAGAMORE: You brought it on yourself, my little apple core.
AGNES: When I get my hands on you, you’ll beg for mercy.
SAGAMORE (still spanking): You forget, my dear, that I currently have the upper hand.
AGNES: Not for long.
SAGAMORE: Apologise?
AGNES: Never!
SAGAMORE (spanking again): Then I shall have to continue, I’m afraid.
And at that point, the sheriff arrives…
… which means Sagamore’s troubles have really begun. Agnes tries to send the lawman away, but he won’t go.
SHERIFF: He’s trying to beat you. This is a civilized town, and we don’t hold to men beating up on a lady, not as long as I’m the sheriff.
SAGAMORE: What lady’s that?
SHERIFF: That sweet, darling little widow woman you are holding over your lap, sir.
SAGAMORE (letting go): Oh, I’m sorry, my dear, I didn’t recognize you for a lady.

Another school play as a follow up of post #43 that in the USA you will never see in many countries. College students would not let themselves be hit as in the first prior posted video and few parents would want a boy spanking their daughter at that tender age. It is already become problem with the 1949 Cole Porter’s Kiss Me Kate and it is very unlikely a play will be written in the future with a spanking scene. These matters have become land mines for the politicall correct of mind. You can watch the second video from the start or start it up at 8:20 of Honza Malem Kralem. I don’t think the girl on the left would have mind an understudy to play the role of the vigorously spanked silent princess. Maybe I’m judging from USA standards and it’s the Czech culture.

The two videos were actually meant to be one and was referenced as the second video.
The prior proffered video was meant to be the first. I think the college students would be far more comfortable in that culture of having their bottoms spanked as would they would be at Easter where foreign tourists are aghast. Even among these girls it has grown old when it can be so easily abused.

I do believe the movie Dead Poets Society was brought to the stage in New York recently. I have heard that the famous paddling scene was changed and the head teacher uses his belt to punish the boy in that particular scene but I haven’t had this verified

Thank you for that clip. It’s great to see that the directors of that play stayed true to the original story and included the scene and how interesting that a belt be used as opposed to a paddle like in the movie. I believe a belt was used in the scene in the Broadway show as well which featured some big US actors. I wonder has anyone any clips of that production

It is almost as if one could never depict the way schools were without a corporal punishment scene. I don’t think they would have chosen an unenthusiastic mock caning of a girl unless it was a woman teacher.

There is a stage musical version of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole and publicity stills show a headmaster wielding crook-handled cane while two boys and two girls quake. I vaguely remember the tv series in the 80s but do not recall any storylines and have not read the book. Is it really possible that a caning is shown or threatened?
Presumably the girls would not have been caned in the original but have been inserted as a gender-equality measure.

Hello JamieMurphy,
An excellent spot! The musical has already played at a couple of other theatres and is currently at The Ambassadors Theatre London. Sadly I have been unable to find a copy of the poster you mention to link. Perhaps someone else will succeed in so doing.
I have no knowledge of the book, the TV show or the musical, but I would be most surprised if there is any actual representation of caning in any of them. However canes are always a useful publicity device. They catch the attention both of those whose schooling was post the SCP era and those who were there at the time.
There is a publicity video on YouTube here. Canes feature in several frames, mostly waved by dancing schoolchildren.
