No More A-Roving by JOHN WHITING with Alan Howard
Terrence Hardiman and Ann Bell
The year is 1946. The place, a charming house on the Thames 30 miles west of London. Three friends meet after eight years, but this is no chance meeting.
In this, John Whiting 's earliest play, we follow the funny and sometimes painful process of people coming to terms with growing up.
