The world of the theatre was one that Maugham knew intimately. Its blend of glitter and guile provided the finest of material for his fiction. This novel - one of the author's own favourites - traces the story of Julia, an actress touched with genius, ravishingly lovely and at the peak of her career.

Présentation de l'éditeur :
In Theatre, W. Somerset Maugham–the author of the classic novels Of Human Bondage and Up at the Villa–introduces us to Julia Lambert, a woman of breathtaking poise and talent whose looks have stood by her forty-six years. She is one of the greatest actresses England–so good, in fact, that perhaps she never stops acting.
It seems that noting can ruffle her satin feathers, until a quiet stranger who challenges Julia's very sense of self. As a result, she will endure rejection for the first time, her capacity as a mother will be affronted, and her ability to put on whatever face she desired for her public will prove limited. In Theatre, Maugham subtly exposes the tensions and triumphs that occur when acting and reality blend together, and–for Julia–ultimately reverse.

'Brilliant. Sheer, unmatched skill which would fill any novelist with envy' Chicago Tribune
Julia Lambert is in her prime, the greatest actress in England. Off stage, however, she is bored with her handsome husband, coquettish and undisciplined. She is at first flattered and amused by the attentions of an eager young fan, but before long Julia is amazed to find herself falling wildly, dangerously, in love.
