Rattiganiana

I’ve been doing various Rattigan things in this centenary year. I wrote a programme note for the production of In Praise of Love at the Royal and Derngate, Northampton. On Monday, I gave a talk about Flare Path at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. I’m working on three new editions of the plays, which has included tracking down the six existing copies of his unpublished First Episode to produce a definitive edition. I’m also giving talks at the CMP Festival in Brighton, Chichester Festival Theatre and Harrow School over the next few months. Last week I was onBBC Radio 4's Front Row, talking about Terry (and sounding rather alarmingly like David Hare, I thought).
