It also won praise for actress Peggy Ashcroft, who co-starred with Kenneth More. Its Broadway premiere on 5 November 1953, starring Margaret Sullavan, was not nearly so well-received, and ran for only 132 performances. Later revivals have starred Penelope Wilton, Isabel Dean, Penelope Keith, Blythe Danner, Harriet Walter, and Greta Scacchi. 2011 saw two major British revivals to mark Rattigan's centenary, one at the West Yorkshire Playhouse with Maxine Peake as Hester and Lex Shrapnel as Freddy. The other was at the Chichester Festival Theatre with Amanda Root as Hester alongside Anthony Calf and John Hopkins.Actor Lex Shrapnel says, “It’s a play about love and lust. But also about what it was like to live after the war. Freddy was a Spitfire pilot in World War II. He came out of that a war hero and worked as a test pilot, but lost his nerve and hit the bottle. Before we join the play he’s met Hester and pours his heart out to her at a time when people were very closed up. We join them at the nadir of their relationship.”"@en }
