The Bull, The Moon & the Coronet of Stars by Van Badham | Directed By Heidi Manché

I am a mere handful of years younger than our playwright and I recognised the tropes enough to know them for what they were – the blue summer dress, the man-hungry vixen, the affair that misfires when a younger woman throws herself at an attractive married man, his classic retreat to the wife, the larrikin who successfully woos the broken-hearted self-imposed-abstinent woman (he “knows about women”). These are the stories that filled a hundred novels when I was a voraciously-read teen and I think I liked them better then than I do now.
