Women of Twilight
World premiere.
“Unfortunately, Shelley Lynn, who was to have played a leading role, Viviane [sic], collapsed just before the rise of the curtain on Tuesday night [the second performance]. The producer, Rona Laurie, read the part with such sincerity that the script soon faded into the background and the audience were carried away by this remarkable study of life in a house for fallen women.” – The Stage 2nd August 1951, page 10

Play description
“First presented in 1951 and filmed the following year, Sylvia Rayman’s WOMEN OF TWILIGHT is a hard-hitting ‘all-women play’ in which unmarried mothers are ruthlessly exploited by an unscrupulous, baby-farming landlady.” – 11F publicity, 2013–14
