Aren't We All?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aren't We All? is a play by Frederick Lonsdale.
At the core of the drawing room comedy's slim plot is the Hon. William Tatham who, having been consigned to the proverbial doghouse for a romantic indiscretion, is determined to catch his self-righteous wife in an extramarital kiss of her own, while a society grande dame attempts to snare herself a peer prone to afternoon assignations with shopgirls at the British Museum.
The play premiered on Broadway on May 21, 1923 with a cast that included Leslie Howard. Neither this production nor a revival two years later was successful.
Six decades later, a West End revival directed by Clifford Williams transferred to Broadway. After nineteen previews, it opened on April 29, 1985 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, where it ran for only 93 performances, despite an all-star cast that included Rex Harrison, Claudette Colbert, Lynn Redgrave, Jeremy Brett, and George Rose. Drama Desk Award nominations went to Redgrave as Outstanding Actress in a Play and the production as Outstanding Revival.
