| 'French Without Tears' was Rattigan's first major success and remains his most engaging play. Set in the early 1930s in a language school in the south of France, the play is a delightful study of the complications of young love, ideals and ambitions, and has lost none of its charm or insight over the half-century since its first production. | |
