The Winslow Boy

Dates: 13.7.2009 to 18.7.2009. When Ronnie Winslow, a fourteen year-old Cadet, is expelled from Naval College after being accused of stealing a five-shilling postal order, his father is convinced of his innocence. Determined to clear his son's name, Arthur Winslow employs Sir Robert Morton, the outstanding attorney of the day. But as the entire family becomes embroiled in the battle for justice against the might of the Establishment, there is a huge price to be paid by them all. The true story of The Winslow Boy was as controversial in its day (1910) as anything in the tabloids today. Terence Rattigan turned the facts into one of his finest and most engrossing plays, the winner of awards on both sides of the Atlantic. One of the UK's most versatile actors, Timothy West's stage credits include most recently Alan Bennett's The Old Country, Death of a Salesman, Macbeth, King Lear at the National Theatre, The Birthday Party and The Master Builder. Among his many television appearances are Edward VII,Hard Times, Churchill and The Generals, Brass, Blore MP, Beecham, and most recently The Alan Clarke Diaries, Bedtime and Bleak House.
