Stella tells her that she did marry the actor Charles Appleby but they are now separated. Lillian sends for Charles. Geoffrey is stunned to find that Stella is married and has not told him. Stella and Lillian have a confrontation and Lillian says she blames Stella for their mother's death. Charles takes Wilfred out drinking - Stella is angry about this. When they return she announces that she has been given a part in a West End play - she just wants to get away as she realises she no longer fits in.

Synopsis: | The play is set in one of that city's more rigidly religious households in 1906. The McBanes are a pious, Bible-thumping lot, dominated by the bullying John and his bachelor brother, Robert. Into their midst comes a strange trio of siblings, the fruits of a marriage between a third, wild McBane brother and a Native American woman. As the three disrupt the puritanical household with their boozing and sexual seduction, we are kept in the dark as to their ultimate purpose. Finally, Priestley makes it clear that they are hell-bent on revenge for the way their late dad was cheated of his rightful inheritance. Priestley, as we know from his earlier work, is an expert at undermining bourgeois hypocrisy. We watch with mounting pleasure as he skillfully unpicks the dark and dirty secrets of the Presbyterian McBanes. Priestley created the play at a time when he had become disenchanted with transatlantic ma-terialism and his wife was busy exploring the life of Native American tribes, so he writes well about the collision of two cultures. Yet there is something schematic about the way he shows the intruders releasing the Dionysiac instincts of their strait-laced female cousin and her theological boyfriend. In attacking a life-denying religious orthodoxy, Priestley shows himself to be the architect of an inflexible dramatic structure. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| In the heart of Northern England, three respectable couples, married on the same day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25 years of blissful matrimony. Or so they think& The happy celebrations are brought to a sudden halt by a shocking revelation these pillars of the community arent quite as respectably married as they thought they were. As the home truths fly like confetti and conjugal rites turn to farcical fights, an evening of sparkling comic mayhem erupts. With a photographer from the local paper due to arrive any second, a missing housekeeper and a doorbell that wont stop ringing, can the three couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret? Penned in 1938, this is a classic comedy that is a blessed union of laughs and surprises | |||||
