Cadet Ronnie Winslow is expelled from the Royal Naval College, accused of stealing a five-shilling postal order. His father, refusing to believe his guilt and dissatisfied with the way the investigation was conducted, demands a new inquiry. Fighting tirelessly for his son’s honour, he pursues his case to the highest court in the land, determined to ‘let right be done’.

Inspired by actual events, The Winslow Boy is among Terence Rattigan’s best work, an Edwardian drama of stately simplicity. Set entirely in the Winslows’ orderly drawing room, it focuses not on the legal to-and-fro of the case, but on the very real human costs of doing the right thing. Those costs eventually become too high to bear for every member of the family, save Ronnie’s suffragette sister Catherine, who steadfastly supports the case to the end despite its seismic impacts on her own future.

On Saturday 28^th September, join us from 6.30pm in your best finery for a sparkling Edwardian reception complete with period drinks, canapés and live music.
