French Without Tears

  • Show Information

By Terrence Rattigan
Following last year’s critically acclaimed sold out run, Orange Tree Theatre and English Touring Theatre, in association with Exeter Northcott Theatre, present French Without Tears, the sparkling comedy that first established Terence Rattigan as “one of the supreme dramatists of the 20th century” (The Guardian).
On the west coast of France, Monsieur Maingot’s French language school becomes the romantic battleground for a group of young men as their studies are interrupted by the beautiful Diana lake.
Don’t miss a rare chance to see Rattigan’s ravishing 1930s comedy of young love and stiff upper lips.
