Rich in humour, wit, conflict and depth this play is a lasting contribution to the theatre by an important twentieth-century writer. Lady Kitty, who had given up a stuffy life with her titled husband to run away with a young adventurer, watches Elizabeth tangle herself in the same situation Lady Kitty had encountered thirty years before. For all her experience, Lady Kitty is unable to convey to Elisabeth all the sorrow, pain, and heartaches she has suffered.
