by Fidelis Morgan (Editor)
A collection of five plays. Here is the suffragette Cicely Hamilton's Diana of Dobson (1908), and Clemence Dane's daringly theatrical Will Shakespeare - An Invention (1921). Margaret Kennedy's adaptation of her own novel, The Constant Nymph (1926) which speaks colourfully for the flapper generation, is followed by Daphne du Maurier's post-war drama The Years Between (1945). The final play Black Chiffon (1949) by Leslie Storm is a psychological drama. These five plays are complemented by revue sketches by Hermione Gingold, Nina Warner Hooke and Diana Morgan, performed between 1939 and 1945.
