What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play. While many appreciate the historical context and language used, some find it lacks depth and feel unimpressed by the main characters. The transition from stage to page reveals weaknesses in the narrative for several reviewers.

Synopsis
Filmed as The Way to the Stars and set in the 1940s, Rattigan's famous play concerns Patricia's love for a film actor, despite her marriage to Flight-Lieutenant Teddy Graham.
Going to the hotel to break with Teddy, followed by Peter, Pat encounters Doris, married to a Polish Count, who is one of two pilots not to return from a bombing raid.
Hearing the Count's last letter, Pat realizes how much Teddy needs her, and gives Peter his dismissal.
