He is known for such works as The Winslow Boy (1946), The Browning Version (1948), The Deep Blue Sea (1952) and Separate Tables (1954), among many others.

A troubled homosexual, who saw himself as an outsider, his plays "confronted issues of sexual frustration, failed relationships and adultery", and a world of repression and reticence.

Reviews

[Leanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

"The Deep Blue Sea" is brilliant. "Adventure Story" is my second favourite play in this volume.
