Many Loves

Synopsis:
A serious exploration of the frailty of human attachment, the play is set in a theatre during final reherasals and hinges on the necessity for the playwright to keep his relationship with his leading lady a secret from his enamoured backer. As we observe the emotional scenes which the playwright presents, the discovery of this relationship supplies the climax and catastrophe of the play, in a triangle situation which resolves Williams' final attitude towards love.

Directed by David Sibley And Constantine Sandis
