A collection of five plays. Here is the suffragette Cicely Hamilton's "Diana of Dobson" (1908), and Clemence Dane's daringly theatrical "Will Shakespeare - An Invention" (1921). Margaret Kennedy's adaptation of her own novel, "The Constant Nymph" (1926) which speaks colourfully for the flapper generation, is followed by Daphne du Maurier's post-war drama "The Years Between" (1945). The final play "Black Chiffon" (1949) by Leslie Storm is a psychological drama. These five plays are complemented by revue sketches by Hermione Gingold, Nina Warner Hooke and Diana Morgan, performed between 1939 and 1945.
