About this ebook
Rattigan's attack on the moral vacuity of the 'bright young things' of the twenties and thirties, written between French Without Tears and The Deep Blue Sea.
David is a high-living, hard-drinking, successful writer involved with two women: his wife Joan and an earnest-minded younger woman, Helen. When Joan commits suicide David considers following her but instead returns to a life of parties and drinking.
This edition includes an authoritative introduction, biographical sketch and chronology.
'one of the supreme dramatists of the 20th century' - Guardian
'a harrowing critique of a period of heedless frivolity and a dazzling reminder of the strengths of Rattigan's writing' - Evening Standard
'a great and wonderful revelation... combines superb social comedy with shafts of powerful emotion' - Telegraph
