Terence Rattigan:more details and links
A master of the well-made play who explored repressed emotions and the quiet tragedies of the English middle class with profound psychological sensitivity and technical precision.
Rattigan was educated at Harrow and Oxford and became one of the most commercially successful playwrights of the 1940s and 50s. As a gay man living in a time of illegality, his work often dealt with forbidden or unrequited love through subtext. Though his style was temporarily unfashionable during the Angry Young Men era, his reputation has seen a massive posthumous revival, with plays like The Deep Blue Sea now regarded as all-time classics of British dramatic literature.
