Off to the Donmar to see The Late Middle Classes. Simon Gray captures not only the residual anti-Semitism of the 1950s but the whole caboodle of repressed humanity on the cusp of its explosion into the 1960s. This was the England that formed my parents. I sat there squirming, and at the end weeping. My husband Alan Franks had interviewed Eleanor Bron, the writer and actor who plays the mother of the piano teacher, for The Times. “You know, I used to think he [her late partner, the architect Cedric Price] stood between me and the world. But since then, since he died, I have thought that actually he stood between me and myself. Which is much more important.” Libby Purves , The Times' new theatre reviewer, gets it right: 'Bron summons up the hell within her in a rising summary of England where nothing honest is said but everything is “Nice . . . you are nice, I am nice, the house is very nice, God himself is very nice . . . a very nice bomb, nice gas, nice nice nice . . . England is very very nice — what a pity it isn’t also very very kind, huh?”
