C. Denby Swanson
What readers are saying
Readers have overwhelmingly enjoyed this play, praising its intricate exploration of relationships and personal growth. Many commend the writing style and character development, noting the compelling nature of the story, which tackles themes of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery. While some found it a bit wordy towards the end, the overall reception is highly positive, with readers recommending it for both reading and performance.
Gus and Honor have been happily married for thirty-two years.
She is a successful writer, he is a revered columnist.
They have a perfect understanding of each other.
Until a pushy young female journalist—on assignment to profile Gus—quite deliberately seeks to undermine that understanding.
The fallout is dreadful—but beautifully and convincingly portrayed in all its painful consequences.
Honour is a British play written by Joanna Murray-smith and published by Nick Hern Books (2003).
