Sir Terence Rattigan (1911-1977) is one of the most important and successful playwrights of the last century. In a career that sprung from the opening of FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1936 until the closing of CAUSE CELEBRE in 1977, he wrote more than 40 Stage and Screen plays including THE BROWNING VERSION, THE WINSLOW BOY and SEPARATE TABLES. Today, more than 25 years after his death, his plays are still performed all over the world.
