Claude Whatham – BBC Play of the Month: The Gay Lord Quex (1983)
With Anton Rodgers, Lucy Gutteridge, Julian Holloway, Rosalind Ayres.
When Sophie, the manicurist, learns that her best friend Muriel is to be married to the notorious and middle-aged Lord Quex, she determines to prevent it by exposing him for the despicable roué he is. But her plans go badly wrong. Pinero’s bitter-sweet comedy, first performed in 1898, scandalised the playgoers of the day with its unblushing portrayal of marital and sexual mores.
Adapted from the play by the British writer Arthur Wing Pinero.
