Home
was David Storey's second play to be produced at the Royal Court in 1970,
transferring to the Apollo theatres and then to the Morosco Theatre, New
York. This award-winning play (Evening Standard Drama Critic Award and
the New York Drama Critics Award) is probably best remembered for the
performances of John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Dandy Nicholls, Mona Washbourne
and Warren Clarke. The director of Home, Lindsay Anderson, had previously
collaborated with David Storey on the 1963 version of Storey's novel This
Sporting Life with Richard Harris and Rachel Roberts.
The
play begins with two gentlemen strolling on a terrace of what appears
to be a country home. It is only as the play progresses and we meet the
other characters that we realise that all may not be as it at first appears.
"A
most rich and compassionate play. It is funny, sprightly and uplifting...
HOME speaks with an inner voice... The writing is extraordinarily pungent.
Its skill is in capturing a spontaneity and freezing it into art. A lovely
play, a sad play, and a play to lose yourself in, to trust implicitly
and go with all its ebbing and flowing currents of pain and humour."
- Clive Barnes, New York Times.
