This Happy Breed is a poignant play by Noel Coward that spans a significant 20-year period, beginning in June 1919 when the Gibbons family moves into their new home near London’s Clapham Common, and concluding with their departure in June 1939.

Originally written in 1939, the play was not staged until 1942 and was later adapted into a film in 1944, directed by David Lean. This adaptation featured notable performances by Robert Newton, Celia Johnson, and John Mills.
