Description
For Services Rendered sheds a harrowing light on provincial middle-class England after the First World War.
A play with these characters, to whom we are introduced at a tennis party, as in a conventional drawing-room comedy of the period, could have been written mainly for smiles. But here the traditional plot is turned on its head. Instead of being given a lump in the throat we get a smack — a series of smacks — in the chops, scabrous anti-comedy on the present condition of England.”
— Anthony Curtis, from his introduction.
