This play is beautifully written and Hester Collyer is a tragically reflective character. The dialogue is amazing and all the characters clearly have their own stories to tell.

From BBC Radio 3 - Drama on 3:
Terence Rattigan's celebrated 1952 play. It is post-war Britain and Hester Collyer has left her husband, an eminent judge, to be with Freddy, an ex-RAF pilot with no prospects. The passion she feels for this younger man is not returned by him, and the play opens as Hester, in a state of despair, has attempted suicide.
Directed by David Timson
