LESS THAN KIND
at Yvonne Arnaud Theatre

London 1944: The war is reaching its climax on the beaches of Normandy, but a senior minister has problems not just in supplying the front line with tanks, but also on the home front… Terence Rattigan’s ‘lost play’ Less Than Kind runs from February 14 to 18. Web

FLAREPATH

Flarepath makes the top five shows on
'London Stage Roundup' by broadway.com

"A World War II drama of wounding power, Terence Rattigan’s 1942 play was the first and best of director Trevor Nunn’s four-show season at Theatre Royal, Haymarket, a playhouse with an intimacy perfect for the shifting emotions of a cross-section of folk hanging on to life and love as the specter of death looms. Sienna Miller and James Purefoy did fine work as a pair of glamorous thesps, but it was Sheridan Smith (late of Legally Blonde) who scooped up the prizes, playing a former barmaid turned wife of a Polish air pilot who also happens to be a Count."

The Deep Blue Sea

Interview with Terence Davies - The Guardian

"In his new film The Deep Blue Sea, an adaptation of Terence Rattigan's 1952 play, Davies explores what happens when a wife does what his mother could not: walks out on a 1950s British marriage. But the real shock of The Deep Blue Sea for Rattigan's original audiences is that Hester (played by Rachel Weisz in the film) does not leave her husband because he's a brute, but for something even more socially unacceptable back then.
