Inspired by actual events, The Winslow Boy is among Terence Rattigan’s best work, an Edwardian drama of stately simplicity. Set entirely in the Winslows’ orderly drawing room, it focuses not on the legal to-and-fro of the case, but on the very real human costs of doing the right thing. Those costs eventually become too high to bear for every member of the family, save Ronnie’s suffragette sister Catherine, who steadfastly supports the case to the end despite its seismic impacts on her own future.
