Playwright Terence Rattigan is 66 years old and dying of Leukaemia. As he waits for the curtain to rise on his final West End production (Cause Celebre), he reflects on the various aspects of his life and loves that have led him from fame and fortune, through to failure and despair.

".....A picture in mink and blue eye shadow, Judy Buxton certainly makes the most of the domineering Vera Rattigan in Giles Coles's stylish new play about the writers life.....Buxton has to portray, too, Aunt Edna - the prissy figure that Rattigan had in his minds eye as his target audience - and it is a clever conceit....."

Tim Walker

"......There is also the smart idea of confronting Rattigan with Aunt Edna (a comically brisk Judy Buxton) who was the journalistic personification of the middle-class, middle-brow audience he felt had deserted him."

Paul Taylor

".....This beautifully crafted play.......Graham Pountney and Judy Buxton made entirely convincing parents, his father Frank as an utterly charming ladies' man, and his effervescent mother, so enthusiastic for his success....."
