Playwright William Douglas-Home (1912-1992) was one of the West End's most successful post-war dramatists. His plays include Now Barabbas (1947), The Chiltern Hundreds (1947), The Thistle and the Rose (1948), The Reluctant Debutante (1955) (which was twice filmed, most recently in 2003 under the title What a Girl Wants, starring Colin Firth and Kelly Preston), The Reluctant Peer (1964), Betzi (1965), A Friend Indeed (1965), The Secretary Bird (1967), The Queen's Highland Servant (1967), The Jockey Club Stakes (1970), Lloyd George Knew My Father (1972), At the End of the Day (1973), The Dame of Sark (1974), The Kingfisher (1978), and After the Ball is Over (1985). The younger brother of Prime Minister Alec Douglas Home, he regularly stood for Parliament himself. He was court-martialled and imprisoned during the Second World War for his refusal to obey orders during the Allied operation to capture the port of Le Havre in September 1944 because French civilians had not been permitted to evacuate.

Synopsis: | This delightful comedy was seen at the Old Vic in 1985 starring Patrick Cargill and Anthony Quayle. The annual Drayton Castle Hunt Ball is held on the very night that the Bill outlawing fox hunting passes through the House of Lords. This inauspicious start to the evening only serves to herald further confusion and disaster! 'He [William Douglas Home] loves his characters, knows their world intimately and he sends you away with a warm regard for their eccentricities.' Spectator | |||||

Synopsis: | Robert, a failing playwright, is inspired to write his next play on the theme on adultery. Having read the first draft, his wife Susan claims his seduction scene lacks realism and Robert admits that he has had no experience whatsoever with extra-marital affairs. Susan decides to provide him with the experience he needs for his research, and arranges a romantic liaison for him with an old flame, Sheila. Susan makes herself scarce while Robert sets to wooing Sheila, who unfortunately realises all too soon that she is being framed and proceeds to foil his plans. Deflated, Robert phones Susan at her mothers to let her know that their plan has backfired - however Susan is elsewhere, and we are left wondering whether she is carrying out a seduction scenario of her own! | |||||

Synopsis: | Augustus John's ability as portrait artist won him the admiration of fellow artists, public recognition and the Order of Merit. William Douglas Home's play presents various points in the Bohemian artist's turbulent life from 1944 1961 through a reconstruction of sittings with three of his subjects (all played by the same actor) General Bernard Montgomery, fellow artist Mathew Smith and designer Cecil Beaton. This keenly observed, sensitive play is finely interwoven with the thread of John's gradually developing pacifism from his certainty in spring 1944 that Monty's young ADC will not survive the second front, to war's devastating effect on Matthew Smith, to John's vibrant fear of the nuclear nightmare and his own approaching death. | |||||
