Rattigan’s mercilessly tender examination of the British attitude of stiff upper lip and repressed emotion that makes this play such a pleasure to watch... a few hours of solid engaging entertainment.

Director Justin Audibert, with a super team of designers, has produced an authentic set full of clever touches
The pivotal second-half scene between Hallinan and Whatley is magnificent, theirs is a truly touching partnership, dragged by war to the very edge of tragedy.

Bombing crew hits the emotional target exactly as it should, "A rallying-cry for decency and home-front heroism, I recommend it heartily.

It is impossible not to be lured by the romance of sacrifice and self-disipline which was embodied by the RAF"

Full of passionate intensity...The play has the virtue of authenticity.

this is a fine production with a host of excellent performances and an admirably tense atmosphere. If the tour is coming to your area, then I certainly suggest checking it out.

A beautifully warm and heartbreakingly tender play, Flare Path showcases a snapshot of life during the Second World War. Based on Terence Rattigan’s personal experiences as a tail gunner, Flare Path was first performed in 1942 when people had no idea how much longer the war would last. It truly is a remarkable play, the flashes of hope are hugely powerful.

But the play’s the thing, this company do it credit in taking it on the road again. It has rom-com sweetness, but the lethal reality of the times sharpens it.

Set in 1942 this National tour of Terence Rattigan‘s wartime masterpiece is celebrating the 70th anniversary of VE day. With such a stellar cast as this, it was bound to be a fitting tribute to a historic time.
