17-21st April 2012. Mill Theatre, Dundrum Town Centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play is based on the real-life story of Alma Rattenbury. In 1935 Alma was tried, alongside her teenage lover, the chauffeur, for the murder of her 68-year old third husband Francis Rattenbury. Both, but particularly Alma, were proclaimed filthy by the press; one was found guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Society at the time was both scandalised and enthralled by the trial because of the crime but even more so because of Alma taking such a young lover who was her employee to boot! Alma\u2019s belief that \u201cthis is a lovely world and we\u2019re put in it to enjoy it\u201d may cause its own havoc and land her in the dock, but it is, Rattigan implies, a better philosophy to live by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
