Young Woodley

Young Woodley is a 1925 play by John Van Druten. It is a drama in three acts with four scenes, two settings, and nine speaking parts. The action of the play takes place over several weeks at a fictional English public school. The story concerns a school prefect who falls in love with the wife of his housemaster. Because of its negative depiction of public school life, and its controversial subject matter, the play was banned from performance in the United Kingdom by the Lord Chamberlain in his capacity as theatrical Censor.
