Terence Rattigan’s devastating masterpiece contains one of the greatest female roles in contemporary drama.
When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion.
Behind the fragile veneer of post-war civility burns a brutal sense of loss and longing.
VIEWER WARNING: This production contains strong themes of Suicide. It is intended for mature audiences and viewer discretion is advised.
