Terence Rattigan

    10. jún 1911 – 30. november 1977

    Tento britský dramatik patril medzi najpopulárnejších autorov svojej generácie. Jeho hry sa zvyčajne odohrávajú vo vyššej strednej triede a konfrontujú témy sexuálnej frustrácie, neúspešných vzťahov a cudzoložstva. Zobrazuje svet potláčania a zdržanlivosti, odrážajúc autorove vlastné pocity outsidera.
