Synopsis: | A famous actress decides that the time has come to retire. She talks to her lawyer about her reasons. And they remember the missed opportunities of the past, and contemplate the realities of the future.This extraordinarily beautiful one-act play was written at the height of the First World War and coincided with Granville Barker's own disillusionment with the possibility for a progressive theatre in Britain. But it's also a plea for the enduring value of theatre, especially one which speaks the truth | |||||
