Love in a Labyrinth
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
Written by a Belgian author, it is the story of passionate domestic upheaval in a family, consisting of an elderly mother and father, two married daughters, their husbands and a young son, herded together under one roof during the enemy occupation of their country.

Observations
-
Sir Barry Jackson, who built the original Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1913 and who, in 1934, handed it over to the public under the Sir Barry Jackson Trust, while remaining the Governing Director, translated this new play from the French. This production of this play was the first in the UK. Each performance was preceded by Harold Chapin’s one-act comedy, ‘Augustus in Search of a Father’
