Flare Path
By Terence Rattigan
Directed by Jenny Nash
At the Falcon Hotel on the Lincolnshire coast, men from a nearby RAF airbase are planning to spend the weekend with their wives.
Patricia Graham, an actress from London, has something to tell her husband Teddy, who is a bomber pilot. The situation is complicated when Peter Kyle, a Hollywood film star, arrives at the hotel, and Teddy is sent out on a night raid over Germany.
Patricia is torn between a rekindled old flame and loyalty to the husband who relies on her for support. Tensions rise as a plane goes missing as those at the hotel sit and wait.
