Women of Twilight
“First produced in 1951 and filmed the following year, Sylvia Rayman’s WOMEN OF TWILIGHT is a hard-hitting ‘all-women play’ set in a home for unmarried mothers.” – 11F publicity, 2013
This revival was first seen at the White Bear Theatre in 2013 and transferred to the Pleasance Theatre the following year.
“Gothic social realism is not a genre one sees that often. [Director] Jonathan Rigby has struck gold by dusting down Rayman’s forgotten drama … It’s a beautifully balanced piece for a strong all-female ensemble.” Time Out
