This article, which is called "The Winslow Boy, Old Vic Theatre" was published on www.telegraph.co.uk site by By Charles Spencer on 20 Mar 2013 and tells us about Lindsay Posner directs a beautifully judged, elegantly designed and splendidly acted production of Terence Rattigan's The Winslow Boy, says Charles Spencer.
The author points out , tha tTerence Rattigan (1911-1977) was the writer who posthumously came in from the cold, the dramatist who was once the toast of the West End received a terrific clobbering during the Fifties and Sixties when plays by Osborne and Wesker suddenly made him seem old hat.
In addition to that, Spenced says, that Rattigan was both a consummate theatrical craftsman and a master at showing the deep emotion that often underlies the English reserve of his characters. Indeed seeing his plays now is particularly poignant since the British stiff-upper-lip that he so potently portrayed has been one of the chief casualties of the emotionally incontinent times in which we live.
Analyzing the situation it’s necessary to admit, that The Winslow Boy (1946) is a sterling example of Rattigan’s dramatic skill and humanity , that is based on a true story of a 14- year- old naval cadet who was expelled from his college for the alleged theft of a five shilling postal order, and his father’s two-year battle to clear his name in the First World War surroundings .
Moreover, the reader should not forget that author clearly gives us a thought, that one of the remarkable things about the play is that it is all set in the Kensington home of the Winslow family, where Young dramatists are constantly told that they should “show, not tell” yet Rattigan triumphantly breaks this rule. He also adds, that it’s undoubtedly a well-made play, but not one made in the way we might expect and confirms, that is part of its genius.
It's necessary to admit the fact, that despite all this Henry Goodman movingly shows the terrible toll the case inflicts on Ronnie’s father and in conclusion he says, that there isn’t a weak link in the cast while the play itself is as near flawless as makes no difference.
In conclusion, I'd like to say, that it's a very interesting article , giving us a motivational tool to see the relaunch of a famous story . Pre-war drama is full of ideas, that are always appropriate and accurate. Son's mistake or just government structure fail ? This play will put everything in its place , on its place, where the guilty men should be punished and the fire of a justice will warm our hearts.
