Review: IN PRAISE OF LOVE, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Jun 4, 2025

Terence Rattigan's work remains a stalwart of the British stage. Richmond's Orange Tree Theatre has a particular fondness for his lesser revived work; lighter, frothier plays such as French Without Tears and While the Sun Shines. In Praise of Love, Rattigan’s poignant penultimate play, is a different proposition.
