Late Middle Classes by Simon Gray
Simon Gray's funny, melancholic and captivating play about a young boy trapped between two types of oppressive love reveals the frustration, secrets and guilt of middle-class respectability in 1950s England. Two years after the playwright's death his 1999 success receives a major revival at one of London's best known theatres, the Donmar Warehouse.Butley, Otherwise Engaged, and Quartermaine's Terms are among SIMON GRAY's many successful plays, but his greatest claim to fame may be as the creator of Cell Mates, the play from which star Stephen Fry famously vanished during the first previews in 1995. Gray, a prolific diarist and writer, went on to create Fat Chance, a best-selling account of the Fry incident. In 2004, he wrote The Smoking Diaries, a funny and insightful look at his life. It was one of his most critically and commercially successful films. In 2008, Simon Gray passed away.
