Terence Rattigan While The Sun Shines

(4.2 stars; 2 reviews)

While The Sun Shines is a comedy play by the British writer Terence Rattigan, adapted for radio by Cynthia Pughe. The story unfolds in a Mayfair flat, where a series of comedic complications arise on the day before the wedding of a wealthy earl to an impoverished duke's daughter. The plot thickens as two officers, one French and one American, both fall in love with the fiancée.

This well-constructed comedy, first staged in 1943, explores themes of English reticence and social change, all while delivering frothy entertainment. The cast includes notable performances from Lockwood West, Ronald Lewis, and Kate Coleridge, among others.
