About the Author
TERENCE RATTIGAN (1911-1977) hit the jackpot at the age of 25 with French Without Tears and followed this success with, among others, After the Dance, The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea, Separate Tables and The Winslow Boy. Most of Rattigan’s plays have been re-published in handsome uniform editions by Nick Hern Books, with life sales of several thousand to date.
