A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952. 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.
"Terence Rattigan’s devastating masterpiece contains one of the greatest female roles in contemporary drama."
From the Telegraph UK....
No playwright mined the depths of despair quite like Terence Rattigan, and no actress mines the same depths quite like Helen McCrory. Therefore it’s no surprise that the combination of both in this splendid new production from Carrie Cracknell is intoxicating, bringing new shades of complexity to this famous, much-revived work about an affair gone badly wrong in the aftermath of the Second World War.
