This costume drama is one of Rattigan’s best loved plays and award winning Fylde Coast Players field a top cast to bring this play to the stage. Director Poppy Flanagan won Best Director & Best Play at the recent NODA awards, for her last play - Arthur Miler’s ‘All My Sons’. Previous NODA winner Jeff Redfern plays the father, with good support from Ann Slack as his wife. Local AKS pupil Edward Thomson plays their son Ronnie. Fylde Coast Players have even managed to cast local barrister, Don Green, as the QC Sir Robert Morton the defence barrister.
