Description: Terence Rattigan's 'Love in Idleness' is the third in an unofficial trilogy of war plays, following 'Flare Path' (1942) and 'While the Sun Shines' (1943). It is a play that explores the conflict between the values of pre-war Britain, and those that Rattigan saw would dominate the post-war world. The play was first produced (after a pre-London tour) at the Lyric Theatre, London, on 20 December 1944.
