"Feelings can't sometimes be helped, but the expression of them
can." Inspired by La Dame aux Camelias, and set amidst the
glamorous and exotic society of the 1950s French Riviera, Variation
on a Theme revolves around the tempestuous love affair between
Rose, a beautiful and worldly socialite, and Ron, a young ballet
dancer with a keen eye for social advancement. In an emotionally
charged story of desire and disillusionment, Rose is persuaded by
Ron's choreographer and mentor, Sam, to sacrifice her personal
happiness for the sake of her young lover's success and career. But
as Rose's health deteriorates, and Ron is faced with the loveless
reality of their separation, they finally face up to their need to
be needed. A forgotten classic by "one of the supreme dramatists of
the 20th century" (Michael Billington, Guardian), Terence
Rattigan's Variation on a Theme was presented by HPZ Productions in
association with Neil McPherson at the Finborough Theatre in
February 2014. The production, its first in more than fifty years,
starred twice Olivier Award nominated Rachael Stirling. The play's
original 1958 premiere was directed by John Gielgud and starred
Margaret Leighton and Jeremy Brett.
