Southwold Summer Theatre ~ While The Sun Shines, by Terence Rattigan

While The Sun Shines by Terence Rattigan
Southwold Arts Centre, St Edmunds Hall
Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th September 2025

Our closing tribute to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. On his wedding-eve, young Earl Harpenden has put up a drunken American soldier he met the night before. When Harpenden’s fiancée turns up, the lonely American flirts outrageously, thinking she is Harpenden’s ex, West-End doyen, Mabel Crum. This sparkling Romcom with the laughs of a perfect Farce shows both the author’s dazzling stage-craft and his belief that, even in the darkest of times, there is still love, hope and laughter.
“A masterpiece … outstanding in every way” (The Times).
