Lindsay Johns looks at Terence Rattigan in the centenary of his birth

This year marks the centenary of playwright Terence Rattigan鈥檚 birth, and The West Yorkshire Playhouse and London鈥檚 Old Vic are resurrecting two of his most famous works, Deep Blue Sea and Cause C茅l猫bre. Rattigan鈥檚 well made middle class plays fell out of fashion amidst the rise of social realism in the mid 50s. However, Classicist and unashamed Rattigan fan, Lindsay Johns, argues that its time to reassess Rattigan鈥檚 relevance in the 21st century and talks to Maxine Peake and Anne-Marie Duff about their roles in these latest stage versions of his work.
