[Starring] Peter Cushing, Joyce Heron and Michael Gwynn
The action of the play takes place in the sitting-room of Crocker-Harris's rooms in a public school in the South of England.
This short play, which many consider Mr. Rattigan's best to date, shows an hour in the life of a public school master. Andrew Crocker-Harris, 'the Crock', as he is nicknamed with ruthless accuracy, has failed to get the headmastership he once coveted, has failed to get the love of his pupils, and has signally failed to keep the love of his wife Millie. Crocker-Harris is like the old-type schoolmaster described in Charles Lamb's famous essay; he is a classicist in a world that has no time for the classics, and now that ill-health is forcing him into premature retirement, he needs all he can muster of the stoic spirit. Yet in the heart of such a man there is more rejoicing over one pupil who responds than over all the rest, and appropriately it is one of the boys who brings some comfort to Crocker-Harris.
