About the play:

“To see yourself as the world sees you may be very brave, but it can also be very foolish. To love with one's eyes open sometimes makes life very difficult"

A dingy flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London, 1952. Hester Collyer’s life is in turmoil. She has gambled her life – her home, her status, her marriage to a High Court judge – to pursue a relationship with dashing ex-fighter pilot, Freddie. But it seems she has lost.

Left emotionally stranded, she can't see a way forward and going back is unbearable. She is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. As a single day unravels, she must stare into the abyss – and with help from an unexpected quarter, try to find a new way of living.

Terence Rattigan's exquisitely crafted masterpiece about unequal desire burns with loss and longing.
