A play by JOHN WHITING (written 1953-1954)
Starring Dorothy Tutin, Martin Jarvis. Isabel Jeans, Dinsdale Landen
The Gates of Summer Is a bitter-sweet piece, poised on the edge of tears, perhaps fearful of toppling either into tragedy or farce. Ronald Hayman. Whiting's biographer, describes it as 'a comedy, chiefly in the sense that the characters all fall short of tragedy.' Whiting himself called it the harshest play he had written.
It was first produced in September 1956 in Oxford, but closed the next month in Leeds without coming to London.
Cast in order of speaking
The action takes place in a country house in Greece, a little way from Athens. The time is the early summer of the year 1913.
The play adapted for radio and produced by JOHN POWELL
(Dorothy Tutin is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Co)
