| Man and Boy | Man and Boy Closed 16th April 2005 from London Ticket Web | Man and Boy Closed 16th April 2005 Set in New York in the 1930's, Man and Boy confronts the relationship between a father and son against a backdrop of love, betrayal and high finance. Powerful financier Gregor Antonescu visits his estranged son, Basil, at his Greenwich Village apartment in an attempt to extricate himself from the most catastrophic disaster of his career. After newspaper headlines report that the FBI are looking for Gregor, one by one his wife and business associates desert him. Only his son refuses to leave.
Hailed by his contemporaries as the uncrowned king of the West End, Terence Rattigan whose imposing body of work included such masterpieces as French Without Tears, The Browning Version, Separate Tables, The Winslow Boy, and The Deep Blue Sea considered Man and Boy to be his finest work.
Starring David Suchet as 'Gregor Antonescu'. |

| | What's New | Man and Boy Closed 16th April 2005 is a play by Terence Rattigan. Directed by Maria Aitken with designs by Simon Higlett, lighting by Mick Hughes and sound and music by Howard Davidson. |
| Theatre Review | Man and Boy - This one is not just about the financial sheniganigans of the late 1920's; its less obvious themes are homosexuality and the father-son relationship which where Rattigan obsessions, for reasons deeply buried in his own make-up... If the stars here are director (Maria) Aitken and (David) Suchet, they are brilliantly supported by Ben Silverstone as the increasingly disenchanted son and David Yelland, as the tycoon's personal assistant, with Helen Grace as the typist he has turned into a countess. It is a crackingly emotional thriller. The Express Rattigan is never less than a master-craftsman and Suchet is, thrillingly, a master-actor. The Financial Times it is well worth seeing."
