📱 eBook en inglés FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS

Terence Rattigans sparkling comedy about a group of bright young things attempting to learn French on the Riviera amid myriad distractions, French Without Tears ran for over a thousand performances in the 1930s and remains a delight today.

When a group of young men arrives at Professor Maingots French school for the summer to cram for the Diplomatic exam, they find their concentration disrupted by the beautiful Diana Lake. Quelle surprise, they have another new language to learn: girls.

At first, it seems pretty simple. Kit loves Diana and she loves him. And Bill. Oh, and darling Alan, of course. Then theres Jack: shes in love too. Meanwhile, Babe conceals his feelings… Perhaps its not so simple after all.

French Without Tears was first performed in 1936. This edition was published in 2015 alongside a revival at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond.

Also included is an authoritative introduction and biographical sketch by Dan Rebellato.
