'Do you know what the English vice really is?
It's our refusal to admit to our emotions.
We think they demean us, I suppose.
Well, I'm being punished all right.'

Is love more important than truth? Stronger than death? Can it be right to lie to the one you love? Can it sometimes be vital?

Terence Rattigan, now rightly re-established as a profoundly insightful playwright, asks these questions in this, his last play. In Praise of Love is a compact, heart-breaking masterpiece.

Terence Rattigan's plays include The Winslow Boy, The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea, French Without Tears and Separate Tables.
