Full of telling, teasing insight into the politics of parenting and visions for a new, fairer society, it makes for a surprisingly powerful and pertinent political play. The humanity of it, too, is beautifully drawn. --The Stage on the 2011 London premiere of Less Than Kind
Though spiked with zingy one-liners, at its heart Less Than Kind is an aching, somewhat Chekhovian treatment of parental duty and adolescent angst..Superior Stuff. --Guardian on the 2011 London premiere of Less Than Kind
Long out of print, now back in a new edition. A high-society hit on both sides of the Atlantic, the comedy turns on a triangle formed by a senior politician, his new wife and her truculent son.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Love in Idleness is the third in Terence Rattigan's unofficial trilogy of war plays (after Flare Path and While the Sun Shines). It is published here alongside an earlier version of the play, Less Than Kind, which was never staged during Rattigan's lifetime.Michael, eighteen, returns to wartime London from schooling in Canada, brimming with youthful left-wing convictions. Reunited with his mother, he is alarmed as he begins to realise that she is the mistress of a leading member of the war cabinet. Sparks fly between the idealistic younger man and the pragmatic politician, while the mother is torn between them.Love in Idleness was first staged at the Lyric Theatre, London, in December 1944, in a version rewritten by Rattigan at the request of the production's stars, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne.The earlier version of the play, Less Than Kind, was never staged and remained unpublished until 2011, the centenary of Rattigan's birth. That version was premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in January 2011.This volume presents both plays in full so that readers may judge for themselves which is the better.This edition includes an authoritative introduction by Dan Rebellato, a biographical sketch and chronology.'Few dramatists of this century have written with more understanding of the human heart than Terence Rattigan' Guardian'A universally relevant observation of parents and children and the problems of finding true, true love a play well-worth rediscovering' WhatsOnStage'A glorious and rare wartime Terence Rattigan play turns on a sixpence from Chekhovian despair to frothing farce often howlingly funny, but it has that Rattigan tang, the streak of honest agony and conflicted love which shakes the heart' TheatreCat'An ingenious fusion of domestic tragi-comedy and political debate this work has now entered the canon of must-do Rattigan' Telegraph A high-society hit on both sides of the Atlantic, the comedy turns on a triangle formed by a senior politician, his new wife and her truculent son.
