The picture at the top of the page is from a production of Sandy Wilson’s The Boy Friend – a romantic spoof of 1920s musical comedies about an heiress on a quest to find a boyfriend on the French Riviera – the male parts were likely played by boys from St Andrews High School.

The picture above shows the cast of a production of The Roman Invasion of Ramsbottom, a comedy about a Roman governor’s attempts to build motorways in Britain – a version of which aired on ITV on Boxing Day in 1980.

We’re not sure what productions the other pictures below are from, the presence of a witch, fairy godmother, rabbit and grass skirts has completely thrown us in the one bottom left – not to mention the suspiciously Trump-esque character in the bottom right picture.
