'I don't know how I became so filled with hate. I find it shocking
that I did. Somebody said to me that war affects us in all kinds of
ways, and that drinking is only one of them. Perhaps hating people
is another. Perhaps sex is too.' 1943, Henley-on-Thames. Miss Roach
is forced by the war to flee London for the Rosamund Tea Rooms
boarding house, a place as grey and lonely as its residents. From
the safety of these new quarters, her war effort now consists of a
thousand petty humiliations, of which the most burdensome is
sharing her daily life with the unbearable Mr Thwaites. But a
breath of fresh air arrives in the form of a handsome American
lieutenant and things start to look distinctly brighter. Until a
new boarder moves into the room next to Miss Roach's - outwardly
friendly, she soon starts upsetting the precarious balance in the
house. Nicholas Wright's play The Slaves of Solitude weaves a
fascinating blend of dark hilarity and melancholy from Patrick
Hamilton's much-loved story about an improbable heroine in wartime
Britain. The play premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in
October 2017.
