The Happiest Days of Your Life (2009) was written by John Dighton and first performed in 1948 but is better known for the film adaptation with Alistair Sim, Margaret Rutherford and Joyce Grenfell. The story is set at the end of WWII. The pupils and teachers of St. Swithins girls' school are relocated as their own school had been bombed. Thanks to a Ministry mix-up, they wind up sharing with a boys' school. The headmaster, headmistress and both sets of teachers try to keep visiting parents from discovering the dilemma but these problems are forgotten when they hear that a third school is about to join them...
