Less Than Kind archiveLess Than Kind is the original 1944 play which was extensively rewritten for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne with the title 'Love in Idleness' / US title 'O Mistress Mine'. The plot concerns Michael Brown, an idealistic socialist 17 year old who on his return from five years' evacuation in Canada during World War Two, is horrified to find Olivia, his widowed mother living with Sir John Fletcher, a married Tory MP and industrialist. The play centres on Olivia's anguish as she is torn between her love for her son and for her lover.
