In press materials, the play is described as offering "a subtle, witty unmasking of the hedonistic '20s generation and a devastating study of repression and the human heart." The new production, staged by Thea Sharrock, launches a series of events leading up to the centenary of Terence Rattigan's birth in 2011. Here is a look at the show:
