Bøger af Terence Rattigan

Terence Rattigan's first play, published for the first time in this edition to mark the centenary of Rattigan's birth.

A classic drama based on the true story of Alma Rattenbury who was tried with her 18-year-old lover for the murder of her husband. Cause Celebre was Terence Rattigan's last play. Published alongside a production at the Old Vic during the centenary year of Rattigan's birth.

This text consists of two linked one-act plays set in a run-down hotel in Bournemouth. In one, a divorcee tracks down her former husband in order to resume a kind of half-life with him. In the other, a repressed young spinster offers moral support to a fake major accused of importuning women.

An almost unbearably moving story of veiled emotions running deep, based on the true life situation of Rex Harrison's wife, Kay Kendall, and her early death from cancer.

"Few dramatists of this century have written with more understanding of the human heart than Terence Rattigan" (Guardian)

First seen in 1939 but then largely ignored until a 1994 BBC production, After the Dance is regarded as one of the great, lost plays of the 20th century. As interest in Rattigan has revived so too has the play's reputation and it is now considered by many to be one of the great works of a master dramatist.
