Harlequinade & All On Her Own (NHB Modern Plays)
Description of book
A double bill by Terence Rattigan, featuring two plays of striking contrast that display his astonishing range as a writer.
A rarely seen comic gem,
Harlequinade follows a classical theatre company whose intrigues and dalliances are revealed with increasingly calamitous consequences in an affectionate celebration of the lunatic art of putting on a play.
A powerfully atmospheric one-woman play,
All On Her Own tells the story of Rosemary who, alone at midnight in London, has a secret burden to share that is both heartbreaking and sinister.
Harlequinade & All On Her Own was performed as part of the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company's Plays at the Garrick Season in 2015, starring Zoë Wanamaker and Kenneth Branagh, and co-directed by Branagh and Rob Ashford.
This official tie-in edition features both plays, plus exclusive additional content.
