A father’s belief. A Nation’s obsession. Let Right be Done!
Rattigan’s riveting drama based on a real-life cause celebre, The Winslow Boy is a tense, masterly story about one small man’s fight for right against soulless authority and injustice.
London 1912. Ronnie Winslow, a 13-year-old naval cadet, has been expelled from Naval college for allegedly stealing a five-shilling postal note, and his banker father, Arthur Winslow begins an all-consuming attempt to prove his innocence and clear his name.
When Arthur enlists famous barrister Sir Robert Morton the case is taken to court where a mysterious and surprising chain of events are unraveled, turning the matter into a national obsession. As the strain on the Winslow family threatens its downfall, both emotionally and financially, the entire country stands transfixed for a verdict.
A powerful, affecting and gripping thriller The Winslow Boy is Rattigan’s most acclaimed work - a superbly crafted modern classic.
Proudly supported by Gladstone Vineyard and Shoreline Partners.
By Terence Rattigan
Directed by Ross Jolly
