Description

Set immediately after the Great War in 1918. Maugham called it a farce in three acts.”

After the death of her husband, William, the spoilt and beautiful Victoria married his best friend, Frederick. When William comes back after the war alive after all, each man can hardly wait to surrender her to the other. However, Victoria seems to have another admirer waiting in the wings.

The play is full of witty social comment, with all the various preoccupations of the day, including the new social order giving rise to a bolshier breed of servant and a more flexible attitude towards marriage.”
