George Cole , Charles Gray and John Rye in The Philanthropist
A Bourgeois Comedy by CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
' I'm not unhappy. I mean, I am at the moment, but.... when you consider how pleasant my job is, how well-fed and privileged and comfortable I am, and how easy it is for me to be tolerant and compassionate, it does seem perverse to be unhappy as well, doesn't it? I mean, to be unhappy on top of all that does seem unreasonably self-indulgent, don't you think? '
Produced and directed by WALTER ACOSTA
