There's Always Juliet
FOR those who were around at the time, the 1930s were not all The Lost Peace and premonitions of doom. Terence Rattigan's Aunt Edna (that type of the assiduous playgoer) had some very pleasant and memorable evenings in the theatre. And none more so than at the Apollo Theatre in 1931 when John van Druten's There's Always Juliet was in its run of 118 performances. There were virtually only two parts in the play, a young American business man and an English girl. They were played by Herbert Marshall and that other Edna - Edna Best; Dame May Whitty was in solicitous, but slightly scandalised, attendance as Florence, the old family retainer.
John van Druten, who died in 1957, made a reputation as a popular playwright in England between the wars He was particularly successful in writing parts for women (as for Sybil Thorndike in The Distaff Side, which is to be broadcast in the New Year). Leonora Perrycoste ('Juliet') for all her stage upper-middle-class background is a charmingly forthright and sensible girl. The conversation between her and her American 'Romeo' is full of surprises, pauses, catches of breath that make it a delight to players with an ear for timing. These two really meet and fall in love; thirty-five years later they still seem to be doing it, and still with a turn of phrase that is happy and memorable.
