Description
Terence Rattigan's After the Dance is a powerful exploration of the human cost of hedonism. When his wife commits suicide, David is faced with a choice that will determine the rest of his life: to follow her into death or return to the party lifestyle he has always known. First performed at the St James's Theatre in London in 1939, After the Dance marked a significant shift in Rattigan's writing style, moving away from the lighthearted tone of earlier works like French Without Tears. The play was met with critical acclaim upon its initial production but ultimately struggled to find an audience amidst the growing European crisis. This edition includes a comprehensive introduction, biographical sketch, and chronology, providing a deeper understanding of Rattigan's life and work.
