Women of Twilight
Twice-nightly performances.
This was effectively a continuation of the production recently seen at the Vaudeville [qv]. It was originally scheduled to open on Saturday the 14th of June, but was delayed because Freda Jackson and Rene Ray were finishing the film version at Elstree. (‘Chit Chat’, The Stage 12th June 1952, page 8.)

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
