Rattigan wrote twenty-five plays. I think I've seen four of them. He's one of those writers whose name people know but whose work isn't that often performed, and it's interesting how some people fall out of fashion and others don't for seemingly no good reason. This is one of his most famous plays I suppose but I'm not going to embarrass myself by hazarding a guess at the plot. I think it was only one of two times I've seen Timothy West on stage although it would be nice to discover there was more.
