Rattigan, Sir Terence

    0.02 sec.

Rattigan, Sir Terence (Mervyn)

(born June 10, 1911, London, Eng.—died Nov. 30, 1977, Hamilton, Bermuda) British playwright. After writing two comedies, he won acclaim for the drama The Winslow Boy (1946; film, 1948). His best-known work, Separate Tables (1955; film, 1958), explores the isolation created by rigidly imposed social conventions. His other plays include The Browning Version (1948), Ross (1960), and A Bequest to the Nation (1970). He wrote screenplays for the film adaptations of his plays and for The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1965) and Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969).
