Eight months after the Aberfan Disaster of 1966, in which 144 people were killed (116 of them children), a group of bereaved mothers meet weekly above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty.

Flare Path

27 April - 3 May 2025

by Terence Rattigan
directed by Nick Vause

First performed in 1942, "Flare Path" is a deeply moving portrait of people at war and was inspired by the playwright’s own experiences in the RAF. The action of the play takes place over the course of a single night at the height of the Second World War. In a country house hotel, on the edge of an RAF Bomber Command airfield, three women wait anxiously for news of their husbands’ return from a dangerous bombing mission behind enemy lines. While the play focuses on the relationships between the three couples, at the centre of the drama is a love triangle between RAF bomber pilot Teddy, his actress wife Patricia and her ex-lover, Hollywood film star Peter Kyle. Torn between her feelings for the two very different men, Patricia finds herself at the centre of an emotional conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies.
