Sheppey is the story of a hardworking hairdresser who generally considers himself to be a lucky man and then has that self-belief proved when he wins a considerable sum of money. The Sacred Flame is the story about the misfortune of Maurice Tabret previously a soldier of World War I who had returned home unscathed to marry his sweetheart Stella. Unfortunately, after only a year of marriage, Maurice is involved in a vehicle accident and left crippled. The play itself commences some years later in Gatley House near London, which is the home of Maurice's mother, Mrs. Tabret. The Circle, a wise and witty satire concerning marriage, infidelity, and the battle between passion and practicality. In The Constant Wife Constance Middleton, is a well-groomed English woman who refuses to let the scandal of a straying husband mar the perfection of her emotional décor. She simply rearranges the furniture around the uncomfortable fact, and carries on, wiser perhaps, but certainly not sadder. Our Betters is about Americans in Europe
