Torn Banner
World premiere.
“In spite of considerable pre-production controversy over the play’s subject matter during wartime (including the threat of an injunction), its essential humanity made it a great success here.” – note in photograph display case at the Theatre Royal, Windsor
Tyrone Guthrie saw the second of these two runs and decided to stage the play in Liverpool [qv]. (‘Things I Hear’, Liverpool Evening Express 13th August 1943, page 2.)
