Synopsis

Published here for the first time, First Episode is Terence Rattigan's first play. Written with his fellow student, Philip Heimann, while they were both at Oxford, it shows an infatuated undergraduate, Tony, falling for Margot, an actress ten years his senior. And vice versa. Completing a triangle of rival affections is Tony's best friend, David. First staged at a small experimental theatre in Kew in 1933, First Episode transferred to the West End and then New York. Though not revived since then, it is a candidate - with it's cast of eight - for rediscovery, much as was the now-feted After the Dance. It is published to mark the centenary of Rattigan's birth.
